Fraconomy · Roles
Fractional CFO in Singapore
A senior finance leader one to two days a week: clean monthly numbers, a model investors trust and a data room ready before you raise.
What a fractional CFO does
- Monthly close and management reporting you can rely on
- Cash flow forecast and runway you can state in one sentence
- Fundraising model and data room for a Series A or B
- Board and investor reporting
- Hiring and managing the first finance team
Signs you need one
- You plan to raise in the next 12 months and nobody owns finance
- Your board or investors are asking for better numbers
- You run more than one entity or market
- Your accountant closes the books, but nobody uses them to make decisions
What it costs
SGD 6.5K to 16.5K a month
The Fraconomy Rate Benchmark puts a fractional CFO at about SGD 6,500 to 8,500 a month for one day a week, and SGD 13,000 to 16,500 for two. An experienced full-time CFO in Singapore costs close to SGD 290,000 a year once you add the 13th month and employer CPF, so one day a week buys senior finance judgement for under a third of that. Most growth companies need two days a week in the six months before a raise, then drop back to one.
How we set it: what an experienced full-time leader costs in Singapore (salary survey and Ministry of Manpower pay over 13 months, plus employer CPF), divided by 230 working days, plus 20 to 50 percent for fractional terms. The full method is in the Fraconomy Rate Benchmark.
