Part-time CFO

Senior financial leadership, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. A few days a month, exactly when your business needs it.

We support companies across the Nordics with CFOs who bring real strategic weight to the table, part-time.

CFO-level thinking, without a full-time CFO

A part-time CFO takes on the CFO role for an agreed number of days each month, bringing financial leadership without the overhead of a permanent hire. This is typically the right fit when:

  • You’re a growing company that doesn’t yet need, or can’t yet justify, a full-time CFO
  • You’re preparing for a funding round and need experienced financial guidance to get there
  • You want senior oversight of your financial strategy without adding to fixed headcount
  • Your management team needs a financial partner to lean on for bigger decisions

Growth companies often bring in a part-time CFO around Seed or Series A, and move to a full-time hire once the business has scaled past Series B. We work with businesses across Finland, Sweden and Norway.

What a part-time CFO actually does

Your part-time CFO takes real ownership of financial leadership, just on a schedule that fits your business, not a full-time seat. In practice, this covers:

  • Financial strategy and planning. Forecasts, budgeting, and financial models that guide your decisions, not just report on them.
  • Board and stakeholder reporting. Clear, credible reporting to your management team, board and investors.
  • Funding and growth support. Hands-on help preparing for funding rounds, applying for public funding, or planning your next stage of growth.
  • A strategic partner, not just a service provider. Your part-time CFO sits close to the management team, advising on the financial side of bigger business decisions, and can draw on Greenstep’s wider network of specialists when needed.

From first conversation to your part-time CFO

We start by understanding your business, your stage of growth, and what you actually need help with. From there, we match you with a CFO from our team whose background and industry experience fit your situation.

Your part-time CFO joins on an agreed schedule, typically a few days a month, and grows with your business. As your needs change, we adjust the scope together, whether that means more time, a shift in focus, or eventually, a transition to a full-time hire.

There’s a moment most founders recognize in hindsight. The numbers are technically there, invoices going out, books roughly up to date, payroll running, but something feels off. You’re making decisions based on gut feelings more than data. The board meeting is next week, and you’re not sure you trust the forecast you’re about to present. A key hire is on the table, but you can’t quite model whether you can actually […]
