Teams to Scale Their Impact

Fractional CFOs are reshaping how finance leadership is delivered across mid-market businesses. They bring executive-level expertise to companies that don’t need — or can’t afford — a full-time CFO.

But for all their value, many Fractional CFOs face a common constraint: limited bandwidth. They’re expected to do it all — strategy, modeling, reporting, board decks — often without a supporting team. The solution? Pairing a Fractional CFO with an outsourced FP&A team. This combination enables the CFO to focus on strategic impact, while the outsourced team powers financial execution in the background.

The Challenge: Too Much, Too Soon

A typical Fractional CFO might oversee:

  • Budget creation
  • Cash flow forecasting
  • Board meeting prep
  • Strategic planning
  • M&A analysis

Performance dashboards

That’s a tall order — especially when managing multiple clients. Without execution support, CFOs risk becoming bottlenecks.

What CFOs Should Be Doing

CFOs deliver the most value when they’re focused on:

  • Strategic conversations with founders, CEOs, and boards
  • Guiding capital allocation decisions
  • Evaluating growth and pricing strategies
  • Identifying financial risks and opportunities

But these tasks often get crowded out by spreadsheet updates, variance analysis, and data collection work better handled by a supporting team.

Enter the Outsourced FP&A Team

An outsourced FP&A team functions like a virtual finance department. They are highly specialized in:

  • Budgeting cycles
  • Forecast refreshes
  • KPI tracking
  • Report automation
  • Scenario modeling
  • BI dashboard creation

Paired with a Fractional CFO, they enable full-stack financial leadership — without internal hiring.

Benefits of Partnering with Outsourced FP&A

  • Scale Your Practice Serve more clients simultaneously by delegating tactical tasks.
  • Improve Client Deliverables Deliver faster, more accurate forecasts, dashboards, and insights.
  • Free Up Strategic Time Focus on pricing strategy, investor conversations, and business planning.
  • Gain Technical Muscle Access experts in Power BI, Excel modeling, SQL, and ERP integrations.
  • Save Costs for Clients Clients pay less than hiring a full-time analyst or controller, but get similar outputs.

What to Delegate (and What Not To)

Task Delegate?
Monthly management reporting Yes
Budget model creation Yes
Revenue/Expense forecasting Yes
Power BI dashboard setup Yes
Cash flow modelling Yes
Strategic financial advisory No
Board communication No

The line is simple: strategy stays with the CFO, execution goes to the FP&A team.

Real-World Example

A Toronto-based Fractional CFO managing 4 clients was overwhelmed. Each company needed:

  • Monthly reporting packs
  • Dynamic forecasting
  • CapEx planning
  • Revenue analysis

By partnering with Midaas GCC:

  • Each client received custom dashboards
  • Forecasts were refreshed by the 2nd working day
  • CFO had bandwidth to pitch 3 new clients — onboarding 2 within a month

Outsourcing wasn’t just a cost saver — it was a growth enabler.

Addressing Client Concerns

Some CFOs worry clients may resist outsourced support. But in practice:

  • Clients appreciate faster insights
  • They save on full-time hires
  • They benefit from a larger skillset than one CFO alone provides

With proper onboarding and alignment, outsourced teams become seamless extensions of the finance function.

Key Success Factors

  • Communication – Establish workflows and shared tools (Slack, Asana, Excel Online)
  • Consistency – Set delivery dates for monthly packs, forecasts, and dashboards
  • Transparency – Let clients know where your time is spent vs. what’s delegated
  • Control – Review all deliverables before client-facing meetings

Why This Model Works

Fractional CFOs are thinkers. FP&A teams are doers.

Together, they create a complete offering — strategy + execution — for a fraction of the in-house cost.

You don’t have to choose between doing less or burning out. With the right support, you can expand your practice and deepen your client impact.

Conclusion: Multiply Your Impact, Not Your Hours

By pairing with an outsourced FP&A team, you stay focused on the big moves: M&A, pricing, growth strategy, and investor readiness. Meanwhile, your execution engine keeps the numbers moving and the dashboards glowing.
