Every week, someone DMs me on LinkedIn asking the same question: "How did you do it?" This is my answer. A straight-talk session on what fractional work actually looks like, what it pays, and whether you're ready for it.

Where Fractional Actually Fits Part-time, contract, consulting, fractional — they're not the same thing. You'll see exactly where each model sits, what you give up, and what you get.

(It's Bigger Than You Think) I'll break down why my clients don't call me "their consultant" — they call me their CFO. And why that distinction changes everything about how you get paid and how you're treated.

Not everyone should go fractional, and not everyone should go right now. I'll walk you through the profile of someone who thrives in this model, the red flags that mean you should wait, and the three different paths you can take.

You're in finance, HR, IT, marketing, development, or operations with 10+ years of experience
You keep hearing about "fractional" and want to know what it actually means day-to-day
You want honest answers, not a "quit your job and scale to 7 figures" pitch

You're currently employed — not looking for a lifeline, but planning your next chapter
You're good at what you do and tired of being treated like furniture in an organization
You've thought about going independent but don't know where to start

Fractional CFO. Forbes Business Council member.
Larry spent years as an employee CFO — sitting in meetings where people asked for his opinion to check a box, then ignored it. As a fractional, every conversation matters. Clients actually listen because they're paying for real counsel, not just filling an org chart.
Today he runs Strategic Nonprofit Finance, serving multiple organizations simultaneously as their fractional CFO. His clients don't think of him as a contractor. They call him their CFO — because that's exactly what he is.
It's free. 45-60 minutes of teaching plus live Q&A.
Yes. Completely free. You'll leave with a clear picture of what fractional work is and whether it's right for you.
You'll get the most out of it live — the Q&A is where the best stuff happens. But if you can't make it, register anyway and we'll send you the replay.
No. The fractional model works across back-office functions — finance, HR, marketing, IT, development, operations. Larry's a CFO, so the examples come from finance, but the model applies broadly.
Good. This session is built for that. You'll walk through a self-assessment that helps you figure out if this is right for you, right now — or if you should wait.
Probably not yet. The fractional model works best when you have deep expertise and a strong network — that usually takes 10+ years. But it's worth understanding the model now so you can build toward it.
No. The webinar is educational — you'll leave with real information either way.
Most of that content comes from people who've never actually been a CFO. Larry has been an actual CFO — employee, interim, and fractional. He's turned around organizations, presented to boards, and built a practice from zero. This is what it looks like from someone doing the work, not just posting about it.
