Interim CFO FAQs
Answers to your most frequently asked questions.
How is 8020's Consulting model different from other firms?
Unlike traditional firms that rely on junior teams or contractors, we embed highly experienced operators directly onto your team.
Our consultants are chosen from the top 10% of the market and are our full-time employees who combine deep technical expertise with hands-on operational experience, averaging 20+ years in the field.
This means you get the perfectly chosen expert for your specific needs, who operates as an extension of your team, drives immediate results, and elevates your entire finance operation through their proven methodologies and industry knowledge.
What makes your consultants different from other firms' consultants?
We exclusively hire senior finance professionals who have both led and executed complex financial operations in many real-world scenarios.
Each consultant must demonstrate exceptional technical expertise, strategic thinking, and a proven track record of success across challenging business environments.
Our consultants have actually "sat in the seat" - meaning they've held senior finance positions and truly understand the day-to-day challenges of running finance operations. This combination of technical knowledge and practical experience matched to your specific challenges enables them to deliver superior results.
How do you match consultants to specific client needs?
Our leadership & Client Services teams are made up of experienced finance and accounting consultants themselves, so they actually viscerally understand what your challenges are and who's best suited on our team to solve them.
We also use a precise diagnostic approach to match the right expert to your specific challenges by carefully evaluating project requirements, industry context, and technical needs to deploy consultants with directly relevant experience.
Our very selective hiring process maintains a diverse pool of specialists across many finance disciplines, ensuring we can address any financial challenge with the exact expertise needed. While out on a project, each of our consultants can leverage the collective knowledge & experience of all ~100 experts on the team whenever needed.
This strategic matching process, refined over years of successful engagements, maximizes project success and client satisfaction.
What is the role of an Interim CFO?
An Interim CFO provides senior financial leadership during periods of transition, transformation, or growth.
Their role typically includes stabilizing financial operations, guiding strategy, managing stakeholder communications, and ensuring continuity while a permanent solution is developed or strategic initiatives are executed.
What is included in CFO services?
CFO services typically include financial strategy, performance oversight, stakeholder communication, and operational management.
This may involve improving reporting processes, leading finance teams, supporting board-level discussions, and guiding major initiatives such as M&A or restructuring, depending on the organization’s priorities.
Do you offer Fractional CFO services?
Yes, we can structure CFO services to match your organization's specific needs, whether that's full-time interim leadership, part-time strategic support, or project-based expertise.
Our approach focuses on providing the right level of experienced leadership to drive your objectives forward.
What's the difference between an Interim CFO, Fractional CFO, and Temporary CFO?
An Interim CFO provides full-time financial leadership during periods of transition, such as executive turnover or organizational restructuring.
An Fractional CFO offers part-time, ongoing strategic support—ideal for companies that need senior financial expertise without a full-time hire.
In contrast, a Temporary CFO is typically brought in for a fixed-term engagement tied to a specific project or deadline, such as preparing for an audit, managing a system implementation, or supporting due diligence during a transaction. Each role differs in duration, commitment level, and primary focus.
How much does it cost to hire a CFO?
The cost to hire a CFO depends on factors such as time commitment, project scope, and the level of expertise required.
Interim and fractional CFO rates can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars per month.
Pricing is typically structured to match the organization’s goals, complexity, and timeline.
When is the right time to bring in an Interim CFO?
An Interim CFO is most valuable during leadership transitions, mergers and acquisitions, periods of rapid growth, or when financial systems or strategies require improvement.
Their expertise helps ensure continuity, strengthen financial operations, and support critical decision-making during times of change.
How do Interim CFO Services help?
Interim CFO services help organizations maintain financial stability, navigate transitions, and drive strategic initiatives without delay.
They provide immediate access to experienced leadership, support decision-making with actionable financial insights, improve reporting and controls, and ensure continuity during periods of change such as leadership turnover, M&A activity, or rapid growth.
Why should I consider Interim CFO Services?
Interim CFO services are worth considering when your business needs experienced financial leadership without the long timeline of a permanent hire.
Whether you're navigating a transition, tackling a major initiative, or simply need extra support, an interim CFO can step in quickly, bring clarity to your financial picture, and help keep things moving forward.
It’s a flexible, low-risk way to get the right expertise at the right time.
