The open secret of fractional CFO work: the people who win aren’t the best finance minds — they’re the best priced. The Fractional CFO Pricing Bible is the pricing playbook that turns your expertise into the income it’s actually worth, with real 2026 market rates throughout.

Two equally skilled fractional CFOs can earn $120,000 and $400,000 doing nearly identical work. This book closes that gap: pricing models and why retainers beat hours, how to build tiered packages, how to price on value, how to write a proposal that closes a $5,000/month engagement, and how to defend your scope.

Follow Elena Ruiz, a seasoned CFO who nearly undersold herself into burnout before she learned to price.
