Fractional CFO & Finance Transformation

A modern CFO — powered by technology, focused on value.

Senior finance leadership without a full-time hire. We combine FP&A, controls and automation to turn your numbers into decisions, your processes into systems, and your data into a dashboard — not just bookkeeping.

What is a fractional CFO in the UAE?

A fractional CFO (also called a virtual CFO or outsourced CFO) is a part-time chief financial officer engaged on a monthly retainer rather than a full-time salary. In the UAE, a full-time CFO typically costs AED 40,000 to AED 80,000 per month in total compensation. TruAccountants provides fractional CFO services from AED 18,000 per month — delivering board-ready reporting packs with KPI narratives, live three-statement financial models with FP&A capability, 13-week rolling cash flow forecasts, capital and investor reporting, and strategic advisory. The service is designed for UAE businesses above AED 50 million in revenue or PE-backed entities that need CFO-level financial leadership without the overhead of a permanent hire. TruAccountants' fractional CFO engagements include all bookkeeping, tax compliance, and management reporting from the Scale tier as a baseline.
