Fractional CFO & Bookkeeping Services
CFO-level strategy. Controller-level oversight. Bookkeeping-level support.
All flexible and scaled to where your business is today.
Flexible staffing solutions for business-critical situations
Growing businesses often reach a point where they need CFO-level thinking — forecasting, cash flow management, board and investor reporting — before they’re ready to justify a full-time executive salary.
MGR’s fractional CFO services fill that gap for San Antonio companies and businesses across Texas, providing senior financial leadership on a flexible, part-time basis.
Because our team is built on accounting and finance expertise, our fractional CFOs and controllers step in as genuine strategic partners, not outside consultants reading from a template. We also offer fractional bookkeeping support for businesses that need day-to-day financial management handled reliably, without building an internal team.
What's included in MGR's fractional CFO & bookkeeping services?
Our fractional services are designed to be as flexible as your business needs. We can provide fractional help for any type of finance or accounting role, from daily bookkeeping to part-time senior financial leadership.
The types of work your fractional hire will focus on depend on what you need, but here’s a sample of what to expect:
- Fractional CFO Services — strategic oversight, financial forecasting, budgeting, and cash flow guidance
- Fractional Controller Services — day-to-day accounting operations, financial reporting, and compliance oversight
- Fractional Bookkeeping — reliable, ongoing bookkeeping without the overhead of a full-time hire
- Board and investor reporting support
- Financial systems and process guidance as your business scales

Ongoing, flexible engagement — not a one-time project.
Why Choose MGR for Fractional CFO & Bookkeeping Services?
We’ve been helping small businesses find great hires since 2007. While fractional work hasn’t been around quite as long, we began offering it because we recognized that so many businesses can benefit from great flexible help. A number of our clients appreciate working with MGR’s fractional services because they get:
- Senior expertise without full-time cost. CFO or controller-level thinking at a fraction of an executive salary.
- CPA and accounting backgrounds throughout. Our fractional leaders have run real accounting functions, not just advised on them.
- Flexible engagements. Scale support up or down as your business changes.
- One firm for the full spectrum of needs. If your needs grow into a permanent CFO hire or a specific project (like a systems migration), we already know your business.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a fractional CFO cost compared to a full-time hire?
The rates for fractional CFOs can vary widely — it’s highly dependent on your needs and the experience of the fractional candidate.
But the biggest benefit of a fractional arrangement is that you get the expertise of an incredible hire, without needing to pay their full-time salary. Whether it’s one day per week or more, our fractional services give you incredible financial leadership at an affordable cost.
What's the difference between a fractional CFO and a fractional controller?
A fractional CFO focuses on strategy — forecasting, cash flow, and financial leadership for growth decisions. A fractional controller manages the day-to-day accounting operations and reporting that keep the business running accurately. Many businesses need one, the other, or both depending on their stage.
How many hours per month does a fractional CFO typically work?
It’s all up to you! Fractional arrangements are customized to the client. They can also ebb and flow as needed, with hours ramping up or ramping down as needs change.
Can fractional support convert to a full-time hire later?
Yes — as your business grows, we can help you transition to a full-time CFO, controller, or accounting team, and a permanent placement through MGR starts with someone who already knows your business.
What's the difference between MGR and a general staffing agency?
General staffing agencies screen resumes. They see a lot of roles and applicants, but they don’t know those roles in depth. Our recruiters have accounting and finance backgrounds themselves, so we can evaluate whether a candidate’s technical experience actually matches what the role you’re hiring for requires.
That means faster hiring timelines, less low-quality interviews, and ultimately better hires for your business.
