A private equity portfolio company needed stronger financial leadership to improve operating performance and EBITDA. The business required experienced, high-impact guidance without committing to a full-time executive hire. The existing setup limited the company’s ability to drive meaningful EBITDA improvement. A fractional CFO engagement was implemented to provide senior financial leadership. The scope centered on fractional CFO services paired with strategic guidance aligned to the company’s priorities. This approach added executive-level finance capability while keeping the structure flexible. The company achieved a 30% EBITDA improvement following the fractional CFO placement. The engagement delivered the strategic guidance required to support the performance uplift. The portfolio company realized significant EBITDA gains while maintaining a fractional leadership model.
