The CFO Accelerator

I met a $20MM Fractional CFO Here's how it went down and what I learned ?? So I'm flying from Orange County to Dallas after a conference. I was exhausted.??? A random guy sits down next to me and asks what I do for a living. Ugh! ?? I did NOT want to have to explain what a Fractional CFO is (again). But here we are… Me: I run a Fractional CFO firm. Him: Oh cool. Me too! Say what??? Me: How long have you been around? How large is your firm? Him: 13 years. We’ll do about $20MM this year. Me: Where do you get your clients? Him: Let me start by telling you what NOT to do. Do not spend a dollar buying online ads or other traditional "marketing". It doesn’t work. For the next 2 hours, he shared his best advice for growing a firm... On Wednesday, August 21st, I'm hosting a free masterclass for Fractional CFOs, where I will reveal the blueprint you can use to scale your firm to 7 figures.

Onboarding is easily the most critical time for CFO clients. Get it right and clients are likely to stick around 2x-3x longer. Get it wrong and clients bail - with $70k or more down the drain! Great onboarding for Fractional CFOs makes all the difference - In terms of client satisfaction AND how much you can charge for it. The problem is that no one talks about how to do onboarding the right way. Most of us approach onboarding like a checklist: ? Get access to QBO ? Request a bunch of docs ? Review the financial statements ? Ask a few standard questions and we're done That regularly ends up taking weeks or longer to complete (which screws up our entire schedule) - and it adds little or no value to our clients. The new clients are left wondering what they're even paying for. Not a great way to start things off. No sir. Yesterday, I revealed the Onboarding Pyramid to 261 Fractional CFOs inside my Inner Circle program. I showed them: ? 4 different layers to onboarding ? A typical onboarding chronology ? 3 ways to increase the perceived value of onboarding The result: ? Faster onboarding ? Less frustrating onboarding ? Clients that see value immediately ? And much, much higher onboarding fees Want results like that? Check out the replay inside Inner Circle for just $1 for your first month!

An under appreciated truth for Fractional CFOs: New client onboarding matters. A lot. Onboarding is where you:? ? Get access to key people and key information ??Set expectations for the relationship? ??Determine the client's goals ??Start adding value ?? When onboarding goes well (and quickly), clients get more value, stick around longer, and are more likely to tee up referrls. ?? When onboarding doesn't go well (or goes too slowly), clients start wondering why they hired you and if it's even worth the money. But the question is: How can you onboard clients as quickly and efficiently as possible and get to the "ah-ha moment" in days instead of week? What are the specfic strategies and tactics that you can implement that esult in the optimal experience for new clients during onboarding? There's a lot to unpack and there's a lot of money at stake.? ?? That's why I'm doing an?onboarding deep dive?on July 18 at 2pm EDT inside The Inner Circle. The Inner Circle is my community of 250+ Fractional CFOs. Inside, I go live on Zoom every month and teach about the lessons I've learned on my journey of scaling a Fractional CFO firm.
