How the needs check works
The check weighs your answers on trigger, investors, team size, scope, duration and urgency and suggests the model that fits best. If a second model comes close, we show it as well.
The monthly budget uses the same starting day rates as our pricing page: day rate × days per week × 4.33 weeks. Accounting starts at €850, controlling at €1,050, FP&A at €1,150, Head of Finance at €1,300 and CFO at €1,800 net per day. It is guidance, not a quote.

Frequently asked questions about the needs check
What is the difference between an interim CFO and a fractional CFO?
An interim CFO takes over full finance leadership for a limited period, for example during a vacancy, handover or transaction – typically 3 to 12 months at 3 to 5 days per week. A fractional CFO works with you on an ongoing, part-time basis, for example 1 to 2 days per week.
How much does external finance support cost per month?
It depends on role and scope. Starting day rates range from €850 for accounting to €1,800 for a CFO, net per day. Two CFO days per week come to around €15,600 net per month (€1,800 × 2 × 4.33). The actual rate depends on the profile.
How quickly will I get a suitable profile?
We send you the first suitable profile within 24 hours, drawing on around 500 freelancers. Since 2019 we have supported more than twelve interim CFO mandates, 96% of our clients hire us again, and an assignment lasts seven months on average.
