What’s the difference between a bookkeeper, accountant, and CFO?

A bookkeeper handles daily transactions. An accountant prepares financials and tax filings. A CFO focuses on strategy—like pricing, growth planning, and forecasting. A fractional CFO brings that strategic guidance on a part-time or project basis.

Whether you run a creative agency, a digital marketing shop, or a media buying firm, hiring a fractional CFO can bring serious firepower to your financial strategy—without the full-time overhead. These businesses often have a mix of retainers and one-off projects, fluctuating margins, and seasonality. A fractional CFO can help you make sense of it all, stabilize your cash flow, and make smarter decisions.
