I first came across this book whilst studying business strategy with Harvard Business School Online. If you’ve ever found strategy a bit of a mystery, this book is for you.
I have always admired business leaders that can reduce what appear to be complex, interconnected problems to a simple, clearly executable plan. This is exactly what Felix Oberholzer-Gee is able to do in the book.
This week I was approached about two new fractional roles – both seemed near on obsessive about relevant industry experience. I seem to find when I start a fractional arrangement, that the issues centre around the same common themes.
Yes—deep industry knowledge can be helpful. But here’s the truth: the best CFOs don’t just know your industry—they know how to think strategically across any business.
What truly drives success in a fractional CFO partnership?
✅ Clear, confident communication
✅ Alignment with your company culture
✅ Ability to build trust with founders, investors, and teams
✅ Willingness to roll up their sleeves and adapt
✅ Strategic thinking that isn’t locked into “how it’s always been done”
I’ve seen it time and time again: a CFO with the perfect resume but the wrong approach ends up causing friction. Meanwhile, a CFO with strong fundamentals and the right personality fit and attitude becomes a true extension of your leadership team—even if they’ve never worked in your niche before.
Don’t just ask, “Have they worked in my industry?”
Ask:
🔹 Do they get how we think and operate?
🔹 Can we collaborate under pressure?
🔹 Will they challenge us and support us?
Industry knowledge can be learned. Chemistry can’t.
What are your views? If you had to choose one or the other, which would you go for?
In today’s fast-paced business world, having strategic financial leadership is essential for growth and sustainability. But hiring a full-time CFO might not be feasible for every organisation. That’s where I come in!

Whilst the fractional Part-Time CFO is becoming more well known, I still see lots of examples of businesses with sub £15m revenues & straight forward operating models that employ a full time CFO where they just don’t need to.
Inevitably the CFO fills their time with operational issues that can be dealt with by a competent Head of Finance. This results in lots of missed opportunities to really turn the dial on strategic business performance.
In today’s dynamic business environment, agility and cost-efficiency are paramount. Here’s why hiring a fractional CFO might be the game-changer your company needs:
Cost-Effective Expertise:
Fractional CFOs offer top-tier financial expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO. This is particularly beneficial for startups and small to mid-sized businesses that need high-level financial guidance without the hefty fixed salary burden.
Flexibility:
Engage a fractional CFO on an as-needed basis. Whether you need strategic advice during a growth phase, assistance with fundraising, or help navigating a financial crisis, a fractional CFO can provide the right support at the right time.
Broad Experience:
Fractional CFOs often bring diverse experience from working with various industries and business stages. This breadth of knowledge can offer fresh perspectives and innovative solutions tailored to your specific challenges and opportunities.
Scalability:
As your business grows, your financial needs evolve. A fractional CFO can scale their involvement up or down, ensuring you get the precise level of expertise you need at each stage of your business journey.
Focus on Core Business:
With a fractional CFO handling your financial strategy and operations, you and your team can focus on what you do best—growing the business. This delegation not only streamlines operations but also drives efficiency and productivity.
Immediate Impact:
Fractional CFOs can hit the ground running. Their extensive experience means they can quickly diagnose financial issues, implement effective strategies, and deliver results without the long onboarding process typically required for a full-time executive.
In essence, a fractional CFO provides the perfect blend of high-calibre financial leadership and flexibility, enabling your business to thrive without the significant overhead costs.
