a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO.
What Is a Virtual CFO?
A Virtual CFO (vCFO) is a senior finance professional who provides the strategic leadership of a Chief Financial Officer without being a full-time employee.
All delivered remotely, on a fractional or project basis, and at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO.
Instead of hiring an in-house CFO before your business is ready, you gain access to:
Executive-level financial thinking
Our innovative solutions are designed to address the unique needs of our clients and drive success.
Strategic planning and forecasting
We take a personalized approach to ensure that every individual receives tailored support and guidance.
Cash flow and performance oversight
Our team is dedicated to providing superior customer service and ensuring complete satisfaction.
Decision support for growth and investment
Our team is dedicated to providing superior customer service and ensuring complete satisfaction.
You’re not hiring a firm. You’re hiring a CFO.
What sets this apart:
Drapalski Consulting is founder-led. When you engage Virtual CFO services, you work directly with me — not a rotating bench of consultants or junior analysts.
Many companies have bookkeepers and tax advisors.
Very few have a true financial thought partner.
That’s the gap I fill.

Virtual CFO vs Accountant vs Outsourcing
This distinction matters.
A Virtual CFO is not a bookkeeper
Focus is strategy, leadership, and decision support.
A Virtual CFO is not a tax advisor
Tax compliance is important, but it’s not CFO work.
A Virtual CFO is not low-cost outsourcing
No offshoring, no handoffs, no loss of control.
A Virtual CFO is a senior financial partner
who sits alongside the founder and leadership team.
