Fractional CFO Services for Law Firms
Your firm is growing.
Why isn't profit?
Fractional CFO for personal injury and plaintiff firms. Serving attorneys since 2012.
Does this sound like your firm?
“We're growing, but profit's flat.”
They’re overspending and taking on debt because their margins are too thin, driven by excessive compensation, ineffective marketing, high overhead, or unsustainable partner distributions.
“Cash is always tight, even when collections are strong.”
It is going out as fast (or faster) than it is coming in. They are not getting the return on investment in people, marketing or admin that they deserve as an owner.
“Our accountant only calls at tax time.”
They miss the opportunity to make better decisions throughout the year about profitability, cash flow, pricing, staffing, and growth, when there’s still time to change the outcome rather than just report the results.
“We're thinking about hiring, expanding, or selling.”
They need to understand the impact on profitability and cash flow, what success looks like, how long it will take to see a return, and whether the firm can withstand the downside if things don’t go as planned or take longer than planned.

Questions law firm owners ask us
What does a fractional CFO do for a law firm?
A fractional CFO helps law firm owners understand where their money is going, why they aren’t keeping more of it, and what they can do differently. We help them make smarter decisions, tackle tough issues, and stay focused on building a more profitable firm.
How is that different from my accountant or bookkeeper?
Your bookkeeper records what happened, and your CPA makes sure your taxes are handled correctly. A CFO looks forward, helping you understand why your numbers look the way they do, what needs to change, and how today’s decisions will affect tomorrow’s profitability and cash flow.
Do you only work with personal injury firms?
No, we work with law firms across a variety of practice areas, including personal injury, immigration, family law, estate planning, commercial litigation and transactional practices. Different billing models create different financial challenges, but every firm needs to understand how to turn revenue into profit and cash flow.

How does the cost compare with hiring a full-time CFO?
A full-time, experienced CFO can cost on average $300,000 or more annually. When you include salary, benefits, and bonuses, call it $460,000. Cathcap’s fractional CFO services start at $3,000 per month. You get experienced, strategic financial leadership at a fraction of the cost, with a level of service that fits your firm’s size and needs.
