Fractional Senior Finance Leadership

Senior Financial Leadership,
On Demand.

You need a senior finance mind in the room — not a full-time hire. I've built the models, run the board decks, and sat across from PE sponsors and investors. I can do the same for you.

What I Do

Core Service Areas

Fractional engagement, full executive impact. Every engagement is led directly by me — not delegated to a team.

01

Cash Forecasting & Management

Rigorous cash visibility across short and long horizons — 13-week rolling forecasts, 3-statement cash flow models, liquidity stress testing, and working capital optimization.

02

Corporate Development

M&A strategy, financial due diligence, and integration planning. I've supported buy-side and sell-side transactions across technology and media — from target analysis through close.

03

Cost Management

Identifying and executing sustainable cost reduction across the P&L — from structural spend analysis and zero-based budgeting to shared services alignment and vendor rationalization.

04

FP&A

From budget architecture to rolling forecasts and variance analysis — I build FP&A functions that give leadership real visibility. Clean models, rigorous assumptions, honest narratives.

05

Fractional Finance Leadership

Part-time presence, full-time accountability. I serve as your embedded senior finance leader — owning the finance function, advising the CEO, and representing the company to sponsors, lenders, and investors.

06

Investor Relations

Board-ready materials, investor narratives, and data rooms. I've owned consolidated P&L and cash flow narratives at the board level — I understand what sponsors and lenders actually need to see.

07

Operational Maturity

Finance-led operational improvement — closing gaps between strategy and execution. I assess your systems, processes, and reporting and build the infrastructure that lets you scale without breaking.

Kenman Chow — FractionalForce LLC
About

I've Sat In That Seat.

"I'm not a consultant who studied the work. I'm an executive who did it — across billion-dollar organizations and high-growth startups alike."

I'm Kenman Chow, founder and principal of FractionalForce LLC. With 20+ years as a Corporate Finance executive spanning Media, Technology/SaaS, Fintech, Ad Tech, and Retail — I now work as a fractional senior finance leader and FP&A principal for PE-backed and growth-stage companies.

My clients engage me when the work is real and the stakes are high. I hit the ground running, earn trust quickly, and deliver board-ready output from day one — whether as a permanent leader or an embedded execution partner.

01

VP of FP&A at a $4B revenue public media company across 150+ markets — led post-bankruptcy financial transformation with zero reporting disruption, owning consolidated board P&L and cash flow narratives.

02

Built FP&A functions from scratch at a pre-IPO ad tech company; enforced financial guardrails across 30+ publisher partnerships as a key member of the deal committee.

03

Led global forecasting and planning for a $10B revenue media organization, driving margin expansion through digital transformation and IT shared services.

04

Deep SaaS metrics fluency: ARR, NRR, CAC/LTV, unit economics, and KPI reporting for PE sponsor reviews.

05

Early-career roots in investment banking and financial services across media, retail, and fintech.

Who I Work With

Built for Companies in Motion

I work best with organizations that have real complexity, real stakes, and the urgency to move — not companies looking to check a box.

01

PE-Backed Businesses

Portfolio companies that need a senior finance voice — someone who understands sponsor relationships, hold-period reporting, and exit preparation. I speak the language of the deal.

02

Growth-Stage Companies

Series B and beyond, scaling fast and needing finance infrastructure that can keep up — without the overhead of a full-time senior hire. I build what you need now and next.

03

Companies in Transition

Leadership change, finance team gap, pre-transaction, or post-merger — I provide continuity and capability exactly when it's most critical and there's no time to ramp someone new.

04

Mid-Market Businesses

Established companies that have outgrown their finance function and need senior-level expertise to professionalize, scale, or prepare for what's next. I've done this up to $10B in revenue.
