Questions, answered straight.

No. Datarails implementation is one of four services, and the others stand entirely on their own. Our outsourced accounting, FP&A, and CFO work happen in whatever tools you already have. If Datarails isn't the right fit for your size or stage, we'll tell you, and never make it a condition of working together.

Absolutely, that's how most engagements start. Bring us in for a single problem: a clean monthly close, a forecast the board can trust, or a Datarails rollout. You can add services later as you grow, but there's no bundle and no requirement to. You set the scope.

FP&A turns your numbers forward, budgets, forecasts, variance analysis, board reporting. A CFO sets strategy on top of that, cash, capital, fundraising, and the financial story behind the business. Most companies need a mix, and we help you right-size which roles you actually need today.

You work directly with Andy and the Scenario One Partners team, not a junior consultant handed the account after the sale. Andy has held real corporate finance, fractional FP&A, and CFO seats, and spent years as a top Datarails CSM. You get an operator who has built these systems and lived in the numbers.

Probably not. Fractional exists precisely so growing companies can get senior finance help before they can justify full-time hires. We'll scope an engagement to your stage, sometimes that's just clean books and a forecast, sometimes it's ongoing CFO support.

It depends on your data complexity, but we measure success by your first real forecast, not a go-live date. Most clients move from kickoff to a working close-and-forecast workflow in weeks, not the months a misaligned rollout drags into. We start with the workflow, then configure the software around it.

Engagements run on a fixed monthly retainer scoped to the work, predictable cost, senior attention, and the room to scale up or down as your needs change. No hourly meters, no surprise invoices. We'll size it together once we understand what you need.

Yes. We often layer FP&A or CFO work on top of an internal or external bookkeeping function, or run accounting while your CPA handles tax. We scope around the team you already have rather than forcing a rip-and-replace.
