Episode notes
In this Greatest Hits episode of The New F* Word Podcast, I revisit my conversation with Elliott Gaspar, Founder of Ox Consult and a hands-on advocate for redefining what it means to be a Fractional CFO. Elliott shares how his journey, from scaling startups to raising $600M in funding, shaped his perspective on finance as a true value driver rather than just a cost center. We dive into the different types of fractional CFOs emerging in the market, why the industry is still in its early days, and how he’s pioneering a model rooted in problem-solving, practical systems, and trusted founder relationships. From navigating the “edge of chaos” in high-growth startups to leveraging AI for smarter bookkeeping, Elliott gives a candid look at the challenges and opportunities shaping this fast-growing field.
