Selling online is more accessible than ever, but sustaining profit as your business scales can be difficult. Expenses grow quickly, cash becomes harder to track, and itโs easy to lose sight of whatโs driving real value. A Fractional CFO helps eCommerce businesses find clarity through targeted strategies that support consistent, long-term profit growth.

A Fractional CFO reviews how much profit is made per product, per sales channel. For example, products sold through marketplaces may carry higher fees than those sold through your website.
By identifying where margins are strongest and where costs are too high, the CFO helps you refocus your product and channel mix for better returns.

Guessing at future sales or expenses can lead to stock issues, overspending, or missed growth opportunities. A CFO builds forecasts based on:
โข Past performance trends
โข Current marketing activity
โข Inventory and fulfilment capacity
These forecasts help you set realistic goals and ensure you donโt overspend during slow periods or underinvest during growth phases.

Many eCommerce businesses see a spike in orders and immediately hire or spend more. But not all growth is profitable. A CFO reviews the cost-to-serve, how much it costs to fulfil, support, and retain each customer, and ensures that growth doesn’t lead to a loss.
We help pace investment in areas like team expansion, software, and warehousing, so you grow without losing control of costs.

Digital ad spend is often one of the biggest costs in eCommerce. A Fractional CFO doesnโt just look at click-through rates; we assess return on ad spend (ROAS) and customer lifetime value (LTV) to make sure your campaigns are profitable, not just busy.
A Fractional CFO brings structure and insight to your financial operations, ensuring you make decisions based on numbers, not guesswork. With the right strategies in place, online businesses can scale confidently and profitably.
