Fractional management
What is fractional management? In short, it means gaining access to experienced managers without a full-time commitment. Through fractional management, seasoned professionals take a structured approach to situations that are often overlooked until they grow into serious business problems.
From simple questions like “Where are the contracts from last week’s meeting?” to critical ones such as “What is our current inventory level? Why is employee turnover so high? What is the real value of intellectual property protection?”, our team provides answers through effective management and the establishment of business processes. In doing so, we help prevent critical situations and capital loss for you and your organization.
Through fractional management, we provide companies with flexible and professional leadership exactly when and where it is needed. We identify problems, define clear objectives for resolving them, and deliver results.
- WITH FRACTIONAL MANAGEMENT, we support companies when they face various business challenges:
- when experienced leadership is needed, but not a full-time hire;
- when a company is growing, changing, or undergoing restructuring (e.g., a family business becoming a company, generational transition, change of ownership);
- when operational or organizational challenges need to be resolved quickly and effectively;
- when a company wants to introduce clear processes, structure, and control — without constantly “putting out fires.”

Cooperation Process
How does fractional management work?
01 DIAGNOSTICS – assessment of the company’s current situation and challenges together with the assigned fractional manager.*
02 RIGHT FIT & KICK-OFF MEETING – selection and proposal of the most suitable collaboration model, definition of fractional needs and the appropriate role of the fractional manager, as well as setting goals, expectations, and requirements.
03 DELIVERY – execution of agreed tasks and achievement of defined goals and results.
04 TRANSITION & EXIT – preparation for handover and transition back to the company’s internal team, including support in recruiting a new employee and onboarding them, or by establishing clear business processes and ensuring all employees are familiar with them.
*A fractional manager is an experienced professional who joins a company on a part-time basis, takes responsibility for specific tasks, and delivers measurable results.

Fractional Services
Fractional services we provide:
Fractional CEO
A fractional CEO, or fractional company director, is often most needed in startup/spin-off companies or in organizations undergoing leadership transitions. A fractional CEO is a person who, together with the General Assembly and other members of the Management Board, takes on strategic leadership and aligns operations to achieve your organization’s vision. The role of a fractional CEO is to drive growth and transformation through experienced executive leadership.
Fractional CFO
A fractional CFO, or chief financial officer of a company/organization, can have several roles. They may be responsible for defining and monitoring financial strategy and overseeing financial performance on a monthly basis. Additionally, this person can play a key role in decisions regarding the profitability of entering specific projects (such as launching a new product, entering partnerships, etc.). With our support, you can optimize financial performance, manage cash flow, and prepare for growth or investment.
Fractional COO
A fractional COO, or fractional chief operating officer, requires precision, excellence, and efficiency. Our team, together with a fractional COO, can help streamline processes, improve productivity, and effectively scale operations. Since this role is crucial for implementing management directives, it is less commonly offered as a fractional position—except in smaller companies with limited scope, where owners manage multiple businesses and lack time to focus on development goals. In such cases, our fractional COO will efficiently carry out responsibilities until a full-time replacement is appointed.
Fractional CMO
A fractional marketing leader, together with the Metric team, can assess how marketing and branding can help when sales are declining for unknown reasons or cannot surpass a certain threshold needed for growth. If the issue is not related to human resources, a fractional CMO develops and implements a marketing strategy and brand development plan aimed at building market presence, driving customer acquisition, and accelerating growth.
Fractional CTO
A fractional chief technology officer is closely tied to the technological processes of your company, making this role less commonly engaged on a fractional basis—though such requests can be considered. However, when it comes to managing technical goals related to cybersecurity, process automation, or digitalization, our fractional CTO can successfully lead your technical strategy, build teams, and execute digital transformation without placing significant burden on executive management and other key leadership roles.
Fractional Virtual Assistant
A fractional virtual assistant supports efficient scheduling for key company personnel and can also handle communication tasks both internally and externally. Virtual assistants also help with smaller operational tasks and are often essential for companies that cannot justify a full-time office manager.

Consulting
Consulting Services
Consulting services differ significantly from fractional management. Specifically, providing advice and delivering documents related to consulting (such as project applications, loan applications, etc.) does not include monitoring their impact on business results, nor does it involve aligning the advice with other strategic development directions of the company/organization.
With over 18 years of experience, we have identified the strengths of these services when delivered to companies/organizations with a stable workforce structure and established expertise. However, in the opposite case, the need for a combination of fractional management and advisory services becomes essential.
Feel free to contact us in either case, as our primary task is to guide you correctly in addressing challenges or creating new opportunities.
Our consulting services include:
EU Projects
We provide services for writing project applications and implementing EU-funded projects. This means we support you throughout the entire process—from the initial idea and eligibility assessment, through documentation preparation, to implementation and reporting.
Preparation of Studies and Analyses
We prepare feasibility studies, market and marketing analyses, as well as other professional documentation required for making informed decisions or applying for funding opportunities.
Project and Strategic Advisory
We assist with planning and decision-making related to projects, investments, and the use of EU funds. Our advisory services focus on turning ideas into sustainable projects; from defining objectives and activities to aligning them with funding requirements and long-term development strategies.
Organization of Business Processes and Documentation
We provide support in structuring business processes, organizing documentation, and aligning internal policies, helping you achieve transparent, efficient operations that are ready for growth, audits, or financing.
