How This Side Hustler Makes 6000 Monthly as a Freelance Fractional CFO

Episode 60 of The Side Hustle Podcast with Fexingo explores the niche side hustle of being a fractional CFO for small businesses. Lucas and Luna interview Sarah Chen, a former corporate finance manager who now earns $6,000 per month providing part-time CFO services to five local SaaS startups. They break down how she landed her first client through her network, the tools she uses (QuickBooks, Excel, and a simple dashboard), and why small business owners are willing to pay $1,200 per month for strategic financial guidance. Sarah shares how she structures her engagements, the typical deliverables (cash flow projections, budget reviews, founder coaching), and how she scaled from one client to five in eight months. The episode also covers the required certifications, the time commitment (about 10 hours per week), and the biggest mistake new fractional CFOs make: underpricing.
