Frequently asked questions

A fractional CFO is an experienced finance executive who works with you part-time — typically a few days a month — giving you senior strategic leadership for a fraction of a full-time salary. You get the expertise without the six-figure commitment.

A bookkeeper records what happened; an accountant keeps you compliant. A CFO is forward-looking — telling you how to price, when to hire, and how much runway you really have. Astraveda gives you all three layers in one partner, scaled to what you need.

Plans start at $1,200/month for bookkeeping, $3,900/month for our Growth tier with a controller and FP&A, and from $7,500/month for fractional-CFO engagements. You'll get a fixed, transparent quote after your free Finance Health Check — no hourly surprises.
