Growing our footprint

Fractional CFO pricing from $2,950 a month

Every package puts a senior finance partner beside you every month, on the decisions that move cash, margin, growth and value. We have added hands on deck for our growing client base, so we are opening five places for new clients: our next five new clients from 2 November 2026 lock in our new client rates, held for 24 months. The offer is not available to existing clients.

  • Month to month, 30 days notice
  • No timesheets or hourly billing
  • One price from the Sunshine Coast to Melbourne

ProfitPulse publishes every package price. Our fractional CFO partnership is from $2,950 a month plus GST for our next five new clients from 2 November 2026 (not available to existing clients), held for 24 months, and from $3,750 a month once the five places are taken. Whether you call it a fractional, virtual, outsourced or part-time CFO, this is the price, and it is the same in Brisbane, on the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, in Sydney, in Melbourne and across the East Coast.

How it works

A finance rhythm that runs every month

The same rhythm every month, so your numbers arrive when you need them and decisions never wait for a meeting.

  1. Week 1

    Close review

    Your team closes the month. We review it, query anything unusual and agree the numbers.

  2. Week 2

    Pack and meeting

    Your management pack with plain English commentary, and a meeting to talk through what it means.

  3. Week 3

    Cash flow ahead

    Your rolling cash flow forecast is refreshed, so you can see the months ahead before they arrive.

  4. Week 4

    Decisions

    Pricing, hiring, funding or investment questions, answered with numbers before you commit.

Every quarter, a board grade review of performance, cash and risk, with the priorities for the quarter ahead.

Between meetings, decision support when you need it, with no meter running.

Common questions

How much does a fractional CFO cost with ProfitPulse?

Our fractional CFO partnership is from $2,950 a month plus GST for our next five new clients (not available to existing clients), held for 24 months, and from $3,750 a month once the five places are taken. Command, for groups with a Board, is from $3,950, and Executive from $5,950.

What is the new client rate?

We have added hands on deck to look after our growing client base, and to keep the standard our clients rely on, we are opening five places for new clients. Our next five new clients from 2 November 2026 lock in our new client rates for 24 months from their start date. The offer is not available to existing clients. The places are open until the fifth is taken or 31 March 2027, whichever comes first.

What happens when the five places are taken?

New clients after that pay our standard rates: Essential $3,750, Command $4,950 and Executive $7,500 a month, plus GST. Each of the five keeps the new client rate for the full 24 months, then moves to the standard rate for their package at the time, confirmed in writing at least 30 days ahead.

Is there a lock in contract?

No. Every package is month to month, paid in advance, with 30 days notice either way. The 24 months is how long we hold your new client rate, not how long you must stay.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. Each package is one fixed monthly fee for a defined scope, with no timesheets and no hourly billing, so you can call between meetings without a meter running.

What is included?

Every package includes a senior finance partner every month, a monthly management pack with plain English commentary and a meeting, a rolling cash flow forecast, a quarterly board grade review and decision support between meetings. Command adds Board finance papers, the annual budget and audit support. Executive adds capital and funding strategy and transaction support.

How does a fractional CFO compare with employing one?

Employing an SME CFO in Brisbane costs about $18,800 to $22,600 a month in base salary and super alone, before recruitment, leave cover, payroll tax and equipment. Our Essential new client rate is 84 per cent less.

Do you work outside Brisbane?

Yes. We are based in Brisbane and work with owner led businesses on the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, in Sydney and Melbourne, and across the East Coast. Our prices are the same everywhere, with no travel or interstate loading.

Do registered charities pay less?

Yes. Organisations registered with the ACNC receive 20 per cent off any package. Enter your ABN on this page and we confirm registration through ABN Lookup.

Do you work with our accountant and bookkeeper?

Yes. We work alongside your accountant, bookkeeper and BAS agent and never replace them. We provide business advice, not financial advice, and we never lodge returns.

Are prices plus GST?

Yes. All prices are monthly, in Australian dollars, and exclude GST.

How does tailoring work?

The package prices are where most engagements start. A few quick questions size the price to how complex your business is, and on a discovery call we shape the scope around what you need, such as how many entities you run, whether you report to a Board and whether a transaction is ahead. Before work starts, the scope and one fixed monthly fee are confirmed in writing in your engagement, with no hourly charges on top.

How do we start?

Book a discovery call and choose a time that suits you. We talk through where your business is and what you want to sort out first, with no charge and no obligation, and tell you honestly whether we are the right fit. If you go ahead, your place is confirmed when you sign your engagement and make your first payment, and we agree your start date and monthly timetable together.

Where the one-off work sits

Every engagement lives under one of three areas. A few quick questions show which one fits your business, with a price sized to it.

Financial clarity and profit optimisation

Diagnostics that show where profit and cash are really going, deep dives into cost and margin, pricing resets, and full commercial audits. The work that makes your numbers clear and your margin defensible.

Cash flow and capital efficiency

Rolling cash flow forecasting, working capital unlocks, banking and facility reviews, and full support for a raise, refinance or acquisition. The work that frees up cash and funds the next move.

Strategic growth and business value

Operational intelligence, business valuations, value uplift roadmaps, and exit readiness planning. The work that grows the business deliberately and builds something worth more.
