What yourCFO does

yourCFO (legal entity yourCFO Consulting Group s.r.l.) is an Italian professional services firm that provides fractional Chief Financial Officer services to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The company operates as a dedicated division of YOURgroup, a diversified professional services conglomerate that also fields parallel fractional executive brands including yourCEO, yourCLO, yourCMO, yourCOO, yourCPO, yourDIGITAL, yourHR, and yourNEXT. The core product is structured access to a network of over 150 senior finance professionals, each carrying at least twenty years of experience as CFO, Financial Director, Administrative Manager, Controller, or Treasurer in large Italian companies and multinationals. Engagements are scoped in days per month, positioning fractional CFOs as in-company operators rather than external advisors.

The service portfolio extends beyond the core fractional CFO engagement into adjacent modules: treasury and banking relations management, management control systems, financial planning, adequate organizational structures and crisis management under Article 2086 of the Italian Civil Code, governance, compliance and risk management, extraordinary finance and M&A support, plus fractional Controller, Internal Auditor, DPO, and Investor Relations roles for SMEs listed on multilateral trading facilities. Delivery is organized through five Italian regional teams (Piemonte-Liguria-Valle d'Aosta, Lombardia, Triveneto, Centro Italia, Centro Sud) and international offices in Lugano, Switzerland and Paris, France.

Commercially, yourCFO sells through direct, partner-led engagement with SME owners and management, supported by content marketing, SEO, organic social (LinkedIn, X, Facebook), email marketing via MailerLite, and cross-referrals inside the YOURgroup ecosystem. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are custom-built around scope, seniority, and days committed, typically structured as multi-year contracts. The firm is privately held under YOURgroup with no disclosed institutional investment, and revenue figures are not publicly reported.
