How a fractional CFO package works
A fractional CFO package gives your business a senior finance partner on call for strategy, controls and advisory, without a full-time hire. It sits on top of complete accounting and tax compliance: our team keeps your books current and prepares and files your VAT and corporate tax returns, so your CFO works from up-to-date numbers.
What the package includes
Everything in our Compliance & Finance plan: bookkeeping and financial statements, the accounting platform subscription, and preparation and filing of VAT returns and corporate tax returns. On top of that:
- reasonable unlimited consultancy support within the agreed scope, for example on pricing, costing, day-to-day operations and investment opportunities, for a fixed monthly fee with no hourly rates
- standard operating procedures and internal controls, as required
- audit support: preparing your records and working with your appointed external auditor
- complex restructuring, such as adding branches, subsidiaries or a holding company, or changing shareholdings
- two complimentary visits a month
Every engagement also includes a dedicated relationship manager, real-time MIS and analytics reporting, deadline and compliance tracking, and a direct WhatsApp support line.
Subscriptions to platforms other than the accounting platform are not included, and neither is AML compliance, which is a separate service.
What does a fractional CFO cost?
Fractional CFO packages start from AED 3,000 a month, exclusive of VAT, and scale with your annual turnover:
Annual turnover | Starting monthly fee, exclusive of VAT |
|---|---|
Up to AED 5 million | AED 3,000 |
AED 5–10 million | AED 4,000 |
Above AED 10 million | AED 5,000 |
Every fee is agreed before we begin. Final pricing is confirmed after a complimentary scoping call and depends on complexity, data quality, transaction volume and the number of business locations. Compare all packages on the pricing page, or book a complimentary scoping call.
How is a fractional CFO different from a full-time CFO?
A full-time CFO is an employee who works only for your business, while a fractional CFO works with you part-time for a fixed monthly fee. Our package also includes the bookkeeping and tax filing that a full-time CFO would usually need a separate team for.
Our fractional CFO package | Full-time CFO | |
|---|---|---|
Cost | Fixed monthly fee from AED 3,000, by turnover, exclusive of VAT | Salary plus employment costs |
Bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax filing | Included | Usually a separate accountant or team |
Time with your business | Consultancy within the agreed scope, plus two complimentary visits a month | Full-time, in-house |
Corporate finance projects
Alongside the packages, we support financial due diligence, financial planning and analysis (FP&A), business valuation, and feasibility and investment appraisal. Typical triggers are an investor or buyer asking for due diligence, a transaction or fundraising that needs a valuation, and a new project or investment that needs a feasibility study before you commit.

Alliance CA is founder-led. Our founders are Ratul Sharma, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, whose areas include CFO-level business advisory, and Kiran Kumar CR, Co-Founder & Strategic Finance Director, whose areas include FP&A and corporate and strategic finance (about us).
