Think Twice Before Calling Yourself a Fractional CFO

In a recent video, Jackie Shaw highlights an important distinction for bookkeeping professionals considering the “fractional CFO” title.

She explains that controllers focus on accurate financial reporting, while CFOs operate at the executive level, guiding long-term strategy alongside the CEO.

Jackie also notes that your liability insurance may not cover fractional CFO services. Her advice: use a title that reflects your role and understand your coverage.
