Preview growing businesses that match the fractional CFO buyer profile — scaling revenue without dedicated financial leadership.
There's a predictable inflection point in every company's growth: somewhere between $5M and $15M in revenue, the founder's bookkeeper and part-time accountant are no longer sufficient. Cash flow becomes complex, financial modeling is needed for fundraising or acquisitions, and tax strategy alone can save or cost the company hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yet a full-time CFO commanding $250k–$400k salary is premature.
This gap creates a massive market for fractional CFO services. An estimated 70% of companies in the $5M–$50M range operate without any dedicated financial leadership beyond basic bookkeeping. They're making critical decisions about pricing, capital allocation, and operational efficiency without strategic financial guidance — and many don't even realize the cost of this gap until a cash crisis forces the issue.
Leadfield identifies these companies by monitoring revenue growth signals, hiring patterns (e.g., companies hiring operations roles but not finance roles), and executive team composition. When a company crosses the $5M threshold and still has no CFO or VP of Finance listed in their leadership team, they're an ideal prospect for fractional services.
