Fractional CFOs for companies building the AI economy.

Common questions

What does a fractional CFO do for an AI company?

A fractional CFO is a part-time member of the management system — not a one-off adviser. The role owns the integrated financial model, cash and runway forecast, unit economics, pricing analysis, monthly management reporting, and board materials, and maintains those systems between reporting periods.

How is a fractional CFO different from an accountant?

Accountants and bookkeepers record and report what happened. A fractional CFO uses those records to forecast what may happen, model the consequences of operating decisions, and keep management working from a current and reliable view of the business. Most AI companies need both functions operating together.

When should an AI company hire a fractional CFO?

The need typically becomes clear when consequential decisions about hiring, pricing, gross margin, or fundraising are being made without a maintained financial model, or when the board pack requires full reconstruction each quarter rather than a routine update. The condition is finance lagging behind the operating pace of the business.

What is the commercial model for a fractional CFO engagement?

Fractional CFO engagements at Amafi Advisory are structured as monthly retainers. Amafi Advisory does not charge success fees, transaction-based compensation, or percentage-based fees, and it does not place securities or solicit investors on a client's behalf.

Which AI and technology companies does Amafi Advisory work with?

Amafi Advisory works with AI and technology companies serving the U.S. market that need embedded finance leadership — typically growth-stage companies with revenue, a product in market, and decisions ahead in planning, pricing, fundraising, or diligence preparation.
