Frequently asked questions

How much does a Virtual CFO cost in India?

Engagements typically range from about ₹40,000 to ₹3,00,000+ per month depending on scope - transaction volume, reporting cadence, fundraising support and cross-border complexity. ADAPT quotes a single transparent number in writing within 48 hours.

How do I hire a virtual CFO?

Start with a scoping call: we map your transaction volume, reporting needs, fundraising plans and close calendar, then propose a defined monthly scope with a fixed retainer. Most engagements start within two weeks of the first call.

What do fractional CFO services for startups include?

Typically monthly MIS and board packs, cash-flow and runway forecasting, unit-economics tracking, fundraising preparation (data room, projections, CMA reports), investor and lender reporting, and oversight of your bookkeeping and compliance calendar.

What does CFO advisory consulting cover?

One-off or ongoing advisory beyond the monthly retainer - fundraising strategy and structuring, debt syndication and project finance, pricing and unit economics, ERP and MIS design, and US-India cross-border structuring for subsidiaries.

What is the difference between a Virtual CFO and outsourced bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping records what happened; a Virtual CFO tells you what to do about it - forecasting, unit economics, fundraising strategy, lender and board reporting, and financial controls. A "Virtual CFO" package that is only data entry and GST filing is bookkeeping with a premium label.
