Gary DeThomas, FocusCFO’s Indianapolis Area President contributed to a recent Indianapolis Business Journal article on the growing market for “on-demand” executives.
…Another benefit, DeThomas said, is that a fractional executive brings an outsider’s perspective and can sometimes elicit feedback that employees might be reluctant to express to their in-house leadership.
FocusCFO provides long-term, embedded fractional financial executives. Clients span a variety of industries, including manufacturing, advertising, health care, real estate and others.
DeThomas said the fractional concept can work for a variety of executive roles, and FocusCFO has connected clients with other fractional-work firms to find non-CFO executives. “Once [client firms] taste it, they say, ‘This is really good. This is helping me. Where else could I do it?'”
