Hire a fractional CFO in Greece and Cyprus

A finance leader who owns your numbers a few days a month, for companies that need a real CFO but not a full-time one.

A fractional CFO leads the finance function on an ongoing part-time basis: the same ownership of the numbers as a full-time CFO, on a fixed rhythm of days each month rather than five days a week. For scale-ups and PE portfolio companies in Greece and Cyprus, this is often the honest answer: the business has outgrown its accountant, but the workload does not yet justify a full-time seat.

The fractional CFOs on Hellenic Talent come from Big 4 firms, top consultancies, and senior industry finance roles. They know the local terrain: Greek and Cypriot filing obligations, how banks and auditors here work, and what investors in this market expect to see.

What does a fractional CFO actually do?

Own the finance agenda on a fixed rhythm of days each month
Build budgeting, forecasting, and cash discipline the business actually uses
Produce board and investor reporting that stands up to questioning
Direct the bookkeeper, accountant, or small finance team between visits
Manage bank, auditor, and tax advisor relationships locally
Get the numbers ready for the bigger moments: a raise, an audit, a sale
