Queries about our fractional CTO service.
1. What does a fractional CTO actually do day-to-day?
They lead your technology direction, unblock your biggest issues, guide your teams, make key decisions, and keep projects moving. Their focus is on delivering commercial outcomes.
2. How do I know if my business is ready for a fractional CTO?
If you’re facing unclear priorities, slow delivery, recurring technical problems, or you’re about to make high-risk technology decisions, you’re ready. A Fractional CTO gives you senior leadership before you commit to a full-time executive.
3. What problems can a CTO solve that my internal team can’t?
They bring experience your team typically doesn’t have: architecture decisions, scaling systems, vendor selection, hiring, governance, and aligning tech with the business strategy. They also provide objective leadership when internal teams are stretched or too close to the problem.
4. How involved will they be with my team and projects?
Deeply involved. They work directly with your technical staff, operations, leadership team, and external vendors. You get a hands-on leader who drives alignment and ensures outcomes are achieved.
5. How quickly can they make an impact?
Most businesses see clarity and momentum within the first few weeks because major issues surface quickly. They prioritise what matters, cut out the noise, and get teams moving in the right direction fast.
6. How is a fractional CTO different from a consultant?
Consultants give advice. Project managers move tasks. A fractional CTO owns the outcome – setting the strategy, fixing the problems, guiding the team, and making the decisions needed to deliver results.
7. What’s the cost of a fractional CTO?
Most engagements fall between $6k–$10k per month depending on scope, involvement, and complexity. You’ll receive a clear, fixed proposal before anything begins.
8. Can they help with hiring, vendors, and tech issues?
Yes. They can assess your current team, help hire or upskill, evaluate vendors and platforms, and get struggling projects back on track. Their role is to strengthen your entire technology function.
9. How does it work with my existing IT team?
They work alongside your IT team – internal or external – without disrupting their day-to-day work. Your team keeps operating as normal, while the fractional CTO provides leadership and direction to ensure new technologies and priorities are adopted smoothly.
