Welcome back to Her CEO Journey, the podcast empowering women entrepreneurs to build thriving businesses that make a difference!
Throughout this season's Finance for Change series,our host Christina Sjahli has been breaking down complex financial concepts and translating them into actionable strategies for mission-driven founders like yourself.
As a founder with a social impact mission, you understand the importance of financial health. It's the foundation that allows you to turn your passion into a powerful force for good. But managing the financial side of things can feel overwhelming, especially as your business grows.
In today's episode, Christina is going to explore a solution that can change the game: the power of a fractional CFO.
Many founders mistakenly believe their accountant or bookkeeper can handle everything. While these roles are essential, a fractional CFO brings a whole new level of strategic expertise to the table.
Key Takeaways:
- A fractional CFO is a strategic financial partner, not just a bookkeeper. Think of a fractional CFO as your financial confidant, someone who can translate your vision into clear financial roadmaps.
- Fractional CFOs provide cost-effective expertise, allowing you to focus on your mission.
- Fractional CFOs can help with cash flow management, financial statement analysis, budgeting, and problem-solving.
Episode Highlights
- [01:15] The Difference Between a Fractional CFO and a Bookkeeper: A fractional CFO translates your strategy into financial roadmaps, while a bookkeeper focuses on record-keeping.

So, whether you're feeling overwhelmed by cash flow management, struggling to decipher financial statements, or simply want a strategic partner to guide your growth, a fractional CFO could be the missing piece you've been searching for.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
