A Fractional CFO is a part-time, flexible finance expert who provides strategic guidance without the cost of a full-time executive. What industries do you work with? We support small and medium businesses across manufacturing, retail, professional services, tech, hospitality, and more. While different industries all have unique issues, all businesses have a commonality when it comes to cash flow, planning and understanding data which a CFO can bring. Why choose Lighthouse Finance Partners? Our tailored approach, extensive experience, and commitment to client success set us apart from other CFO virtual services. Unlike some providers offering virtual CFO, we've actually been in this role before and know what skills to bring to your business. Where is Lighthouse Finance Partners located? Lighthouse Finance Partners is based on the Surf Coast near Melbourne, but thanks to the power of virtual services, Ben works with clients all across Australia. No matter where you're located, you’ll receive expert financial support without the limitations of geography. That’s the beauty of going virtual.
