About The CEO’s Right Hand
Fractional Finance, Operations, and HR Expertise for Sustainable Growth
Our Story
Every successful CEO, founder, and business owner needs trusted strategic advisors to help execute their long-term vision – ideally, people who have built, scaled, and sold businesses of their own. Yet, high-caliber, full-time executives are expensive. We founded the CEO’s Right Hand in 2015 to solve this problem.
We work with small and mid-sized companies to craft the financial and operational infrastructures necessary for cost-effective, sustainable growth at a fraction of the cost of full-time executives, freeing you to focus on your core business.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is The CEO’s Right Hand?
The CEO’s Right Hand (TCRH) is a fractional finance, operations, and HR advisory firm founded in 2015. We give small- and mid-sized businesses access to C-suite-caliber talent (fractional CFOs, HR executives, accounting professionals, and M&A advisors) at a fraction of the cost of full-time hires.
Who do you work with?
We work with CEOs, founders, and business owners of companies typically generating between $3M and $50M in revenue. Our clients span more than 100 industries and include growth-stage companies, established businesses navigating transition, and owners preparing for an acquisition or exit.
What services do you offer?
Our services fall into four areas:
- Strategic Finance – Fractional CFOs, restructuring and turnaround advisory, and financial infrastructure buildout.
- Strategic HR – Fractional CHROs, recruiting, and leadership development.
- Accounting and Bookkeeping – Monthly bookkeeping, financial reporting, and our Right Hand Finance subscription service.
- Transaction Services – M&A advisory and capital raising.
What does “fractional” mean, and why would I choose it over a full-time hire?
A fractional executive works with your company on a part-time or project basis. You get the strategic experience of a seasoned CFO, CHRO, or M&A advisor without the full-time salary, benefits, and onboarding overhead. For most growing businesses, it’s the right level of support at the right stage of growth.
How do you match clients with the right consultant?
We don’t use a one-size-fits-all staffing model. When you engage with us, we take the time to understand your business, your industry, and what you actually need before making a match. Once the engagement begins, your consultant becomes an integrated part of your team – accountable to your goals, not just your hours.
How long has The CEO’s Right Hand been in business, and what’s your track record?
We were founded in 2015 and have served over 500 CEOs across more than 100 industries. We’ve raised over $1 billion in capital for our clients and are recognized as an Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Company.
What kinds of business challenges do you help solve?
We work with clients across a wide range of situations:
- Founders building toward scale who need financial infrastructure and strategic support.
- Business owners navigating a crisis – cash flow problems, debt restructuring, or leadership gaps.
- Established CEOs ready to grow and looking for a senior finance or HR partner.
- Owners planning an acquisition, a capital raise, or a company sale.
What is Right Hand Finance?
Right Hand Finance is our monthly subscription service for small business owners who need reliable financial visibility without the overhead of a full accounting department. It includes professional bookkeeping, monthly financial reporting, and ongoing CFO-level insights – all at a predictable monthly cost.
Where are you located, and do you work with companies outside your region?
Our team is based in the Greater New York area, but we work with companies across the country. We’ve served clients in dozens of states, and our engagements are structured to work regardless of your location – remote, hybrid, or in-person when it makes sense.
How do I get started?
Fill out the contact form on our website or call us at (646) 277-8728. Someone from our team will follow up within 1 business day to learn more about your situation and figure out whether we’re the right fit.
Do you work on a retainer or by the project?
Both, depending on the service. Fractional CFO and HR engagements are typically structured as monthly retainers, providing you with consistent access and ongoing support. M&A advisory and capital raising engagements are usually project-based, with fees tied to outcomes. We’ll walk you through the structure that fits your situation during our initial call.
