how it works
a mixed skillset team, embedded in your business — that can be flexed up and down
What is a fractional finance team?
Instead of needing to hire finance team members at all levels, full-time, a fractional finance team works in your business a set amount of days per week — from one day per week to full-time (like when you need to cover periods of leave).
When you get your fractional finance team from RORA — they're managed and supported by us. With us, you get a team of Finance Operations ('FinOps') experts, each person bringing a unique skillset.
With a fractional finance team, their time and support can be flexed up and down — so you get the right people, exactly when you need them (paying only for what you need)

Is it the same as a fractional CFO?
Just like an in-house finance team, you want talent across all levels.
That includes analysts who keep the day-to-day running, managers who design and improve processes and systems, and finance leads who run the finance function and handle board reporting.
A fractional CFO can be part of a fractional finance team — but they aren't the entire finance team

How quickly can a fractional finance team start?
With RORA, we can have your fractional finance team ready to roll in as little as two weeks
How does the team work?
With RORA, your fractional finance team joins as an extension of your business — for the time you need each week.
They’ll have their own company email address and access to the relevant systems. They’ll work with you on a set schedule each week (like every Tuesday and Thursday). They can also provide cover, should your team members have time-off (holiday/sick leave).
Like any team member, they'll get to know your other employees — including joining social events, where relevant.

Would a fractional finance team support with bookkeeping, payroll, etc.?
Think of your fractional finance team the same way as any in-house team. They can handle all typical day-to-day financial operations (like bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, payment runs and payroll).
Depending what you need, they can also support with reporting, implementing new systems and everything else you'd expect from your finance function.
As RORA's not a registered Accounting Firm, we don’t handle end of year statutory accounts filing. Where specialist advice is needed (like tax), we may lean on our partner network.

We currently work with an accounting firm, how would the process work of moving across to RORA?
This is a common situation and one we take startups through all the time.
When onboarding with RORA, we'd typically recommend a handover period of 2-4 weeks with the existing accounting firm — although not an absolute 'must.' This allows the team to familiarise themselves with existing processes owned by the accountants and identify opportunities for improvement.
Our team handles the off-boarding process and will set up the necessary calls with the accounting firm to ensure it all goes smoothly.
