A fractional CFO is a senior finance leader who works with your business on a part time basis. They bring board level expertise in strategy, forecasting, cash management, fundraising, and reporting, without the cost of a full time hire. Choose a fractional CFO when you need experienced leadership, flexible time, and fast impact.

A Fractional CAIO is a senior executive who helps businesses develop and implement AI strategy on a flexible, part time basis. Rather than focusing purely on technology, they work with leadership teams to improve operational efficiency, automate workflows, strengthen decision making, reduce costs, and support scalable growth.

At ConnexionSuite, our Fractional Chief AI Officers work alongside finance and operational leadership to ensure AI initiatives deliver measurable commercial impact. This allows growing businesses to access experienced AI leadership without the cost and commitment of a full time executive hire.

A Fractional COO is a senior executive who helps businesses improve operations, execution and scalability on a flexible, part time basis. They work closely with leadership teams to strengthen processes, improve operational efficiency, align teams, and support sustainable growth.

At ConnexionSuite, our Fractional COO’s help businesses move from reactive operations to structured, scalable execution. This can include improving delivery, implementing operational systems, supporting growth plans, and ensuring the business can scale effectively without unnecessary overhead or complexity.

We start with a discovery call to understand your goals, challenges, sector, and ways of working. We shortlist executives who fit your stage and industry, then arrange interviews and references. Once you select one of our executives, we agree scope and cadence, onboard quickly, and provide ongoing support to keep delivery on track.

We have depth across SMEs, including SaaS, fintech, e-commerce, marketplaces, edtech, medtech, healthtech, professional services, and manufacturing.

We serve clients across the UK. Engagements can be remote, on site, or hybrid, based on your needs and the CFO’s location.

Typically within 1 to 3 weeks, timing depends on role complexity, availability, and any specific sector requirements. For urgent needs we can accelerate with an interim option while we finalise the longer-term match.

ConnexionSuite combines financial, operational and AI leadership into one integrated model. Unlike traditional placement firms that focus purely on recruitment, we work with ambitious businesses to provide experienced Fractional Chief Financial Officers, Chief Operating Officers and Chief AI Officers who help drive growth, improve scalability and create long term enterprise value.

Our leadership network has supported businesses through fundraising, international expansion, operational transformation and successful exits. We focus on commercially experienced operators who can step into growth businesses quickly and deliver measurable impact, not just advisory support.

Businesses typically hire a Fractional Chief Financial Officer, Chief AI Officer or Chief Operating Officer when growth begins to outpace internal structure, visibility or execution. Common triggers include cashflow pressure, operational inefficiencies, scaling challenges, fundraising, rapid hiring, AI adoption, or preparing for investment or exit.

A fractional model gives businesses access to experienced executive leadership without the cost and commitment of a full time hire. It allows founders and leadership teams to strengthen finance, operations and AI strategy at the stage they need it most.

Our engagements are designed to be flexible and tailored to the needs of each business. Most clients engage our Fractional Chief Financial Officers, Chief Operating Officers or Chief AI Officers for one to two days per week, although some businesses only require support for one day per month depending on their stage, complexity and objectives.

While there is no fixed long term commitment, most engagements typically run for a minimum of three to six months to ensure meaningful impact and continuity within the business.

If the fit is not right, we step in quickly, agree the issues, and present alternative profiles. We manage a smooth transition and continuity plan, so delivery continues while we complete the rematch.

We typically work with ambitious scale-ups in the £2M-£50M revenue range, though we’ve successfully supported businesses from pre-revenue through to exit.

We offer flexible fractional arrangements from one day per week to full-time interim placements, tailored to your specific needs and budget.

A fractional executive provides the same strategic expertise and experience as a full-time executive, but works on a part-time basis. This gives you access to senior-level talent at a fraction of the cost, perfect for businesses that need expert leadership but don’t require or can’t justify a full-time hire.

Absolutely. Our executives are experienced in working with distributed teams and can operate effectively both remotely and on-site, depending on your preference.
