Part-Time CFO London
A part-time CFO gives a London business ongoing senior finance leadership one to three days a week — without the salary, equity, and overhead of a full-time hire. Hayat Amin runs the part-time CFO seat for founders and scaling SMEs across London on a fixed monthly retainer, owning fundraising, reporting, and cash-flow strategy, and flexing up around the moments that matter.
What ongoing part-time looks like
- A steady cadence. One to three days a week, plus daily Slack, so finance never goes dark between visits.
- Month-end that closes. A reliable close and a board pack that ships on time.
- Fundraise-ready, always. The model and data room stay current, so a raise doesn't start from zero.
- Runway you can see. Rolling forecasts and clear levers, reviewed every cycle.
- Flex. More days around a raise or board meeting, fewer in quiet months.
Who it suits
Part-time works best for London founders past the bookkeeper stage but not yet at full-time-CFO scale — Seed through Series B — who want a senior operator in the business every week rather than a firm rotating faces. If your need is instead urgent full-time cover for a fixed window, that is an interim CFO.
Part-time, fractional, or interim?
Part-time and fractional are the same ongoing model. Interim is full-time cover for a fixed window. See how Hayat compares to other London providers in the 2026 Best Fractional CFO London ranking.
