If you’re a highly qualified finance leader who wants to build or grow your fractional CFO practice… this may be the biggest opportunity you’ll see in 2026.

Forecasting Performance reaches 8,000+ finance professionals every week.
Hundreds of you already DM, email, or reply saying:

  • “I want to start a fractional CFO practice.”

  • “I want clients but I don’t want to sell.”

  • “I know I can deliver, I just need an engine that brings me pipeline.”

The Forecasting Performance CFO Partner Program

✔ Stay fully independent

✔ Keep your own brand, clients, and referrals

✔ Grow your own book of business

✔ And get high-quality fractional CFO clients from my demand engine


Why This Exists

1. Great finance operators want independence.

They don’t want corporate politics, budget cycles, and PMO decks.
They want meaningful, high-impact work with founders they believe in.

2. Most great finance operators don’t want to do the sales and marketing.

You don’t want to spend evenings:

  • cold emailing

  • posting on LinkedIn

  • trying to build a funnel

  • figuring out how to close deals


What You Get as a Partner

1. Deal Flow You Don’t Have to Chase

We generate inbound leads through:

  • referral partnerships

  • direct outreach

  • CFO-specific funnels (content, ads, etc.)

Whenever we generate a CFO opportunity, we route it to Forecasting Performance partner bench. You receive:

  • pre-qualified

  • motivated

  • high-value

  • fractional CFO prospects

2. You Keep the Client Relationship

Once they become “your” client:

  • you run the meetings

  • you lead the finance function

  • you decide the scope

  • you manage the engagement

3. We Power the Business Layer for You

Forecasting Performance partner clients operate under:

  • our contracts (simple, clean, CFO-professional)

  • our billing system (client pays FP → FP pays you as contractor)


You show up, deliver high-quality CFO work, and get paid.
No admin.
No invoicing.
No collections.
No paperwork.
Just CFO work.

4. You Stay 100% Independent

Most CFO “firms” want:

  • control

  • equity

  • exclusivity

  • brand uniformity

  • restrictive terms

  • non-competes

But we act as a partner so you can:

  • take your own referrals

  • market your own services

  • build your own brand

  • charge your own clients

  • run your own practice

5. A Partner-Friendly Compensation Model


You never pay for leads. You only pay for closed clients. Here’s how the economics work:

  • You keep 50% client revenue from the first 3 months ($5,000-$20,000 depending on engagement size)

  • We retain the remaining 50% client revenue from the first 3 months (to fund acquisition costs)

  • You keep 90% of client revenue for the remaining life of the client

  • Forecasting Performance receives the remaining 10% of client revenue to support the operations of the business


This works for both of us because it:

  • makes your economics stronger than 95% of CFO firms

  • gives us the capital to invest in pipeline

  • makes this sustainable


Who This Is For


This partnership is a fit for you if:

  • You’re a finance leader that wants to start your own practice (Sr Manager, Director, Head of Finance, FP&A lead, Controller, or CFO)

  • Or you’re currently a fractional CFO who want to scale your client acquisition

  • You can take on 3–10 high-quality fractional CFO clients

  • You want independence without the chaos

  • You want meaningful work, not corporate politics

  • You don’t want to become a full-time salesperson

  • You care deeply about quality, clarity, and leadership

  • You’re ready for a higher-leverage career path


If you’re a corporate finance operator looking for a bridge into fractional work, this is the frictionless way to do it.


Who This Is NOT For


This program is not a fit if you:

  • want to be told what to do and how to do it

  • want a W-2

  • want someone to micromanage your work

  • want exclusivity

  • can’t lead founders with confidence

  • aren’t ready for client ownership


What Partners Typically Earn


Most fractional CFO retainers land between:

  • $5,000 – $8,000 per month

  • Higher for ecommerce, SaaS, or multi-entity operators

  • Lower for pure bookkeeping/add-on roles (we avoid this work)
