How it works

Three steps from stuck to senior help in the room.

01

Tell us where you're stuck

Growing pains, a leadership gap, or a decision you don't have the experience to make confidently. One 20-minute call, no pitch deck.

02

Get matched with a fractional exec who's done this before

Someone who has actually operated at your stage and in your industry — not a generalist consultant with a framework.

03

Start light, scale up as you grow

Begin hourly or monthly, then move to a bigger commitment only when it makes sense for your business. Wind down anytime.

Why fractional

The math small business owners keep running.

A full-time CFO can cost $150K–$250K+ in salary alone, before benefits and equity. A fractional CFO gets you the same caliber of experience for a fraction of that, scaled to what your business actually needs right now.

Most startups and small businesses don't need a full-time executive — they need the judgment of one, part-time.

Who this is for

For founders who've outgrown figuring it out alone.

ShareChief is built for founders and small business owners who've outgrown 'figuring it out alone' but aren't ready for a $200K+ full-time executive hire. If you're doing $200K–$10M in revenue, hiring your first real leadership team, or hitting a growth stage you haven't navigated before — this is for you.

$200K–$10M in revenue

You've found something that works — now the question is how to grow it without breaking cash flow.

Hiring your first real leaders

You're making first-time hiring and comp decisions and can't afford to get them wrong.

In a stage you haven't navigated

First round, first GM, first real org chart. Someone in the room should have seen it before.

Wearing too many hats

You want senior judgment next Monday — not a search that eats the next two quarters.

Startups with traction

Early teams that need experienced leadership without burning equity or runway on it.

A founder-led startup raising its first round and needing CFO-level financial modeling.

A family-owned business scaling past founder-only leadership.

A small agency that's grown faster than its systems can handle.
