FAQ
Paro experts work at fixed or hourly rates, depending on what makes the most sense for your business.
Fixed rates generally work better for recurring services that require minimal changes in scope down the line. Think bookkeeping, financial planning and cash flow forecasting.
Hourly rates work best for low-commitment, one-time or short-term projects with a clearly defined scope, where you only pay for the work that’s completed.
Data security poses a serious threat to business continuity, which is why we recommend holding mandatory trainings and using only secure platforms for fractional and freelance workers in addition to your full-time employees. Paro experts use proprietary, secure administrative tools to streamline their workflows, and your Paro team can help advise on how you can maintain security throughout your engagement.
The beauty of using fractional expertise is the flexibility to dial up or down your support based on how your business and your market are changing. For example, you may need robust support for a project in the first three months, but only intermittent support for the six months thereafter. A fractional model allows you to do so. However, to ensure project success and maintain quality, businesses should commit to the agreed upon scope and timeline of their initial project and communicate any changing needs to their Paro team contact. Your Paro team provides continuous support throughout your engagement to ensure your service is working for you.
You may work with a single expert or a team of experts, depending on the variety of solutions you need, the range of skills you’re looking for, your preferences and your budget. We strive to provide consistency in your service by assigning a dedicated expert or team of experts. This allows you to build a strong working relationship and ensures that your expert has a deep understanding of your business and its unique challenges. You may also change your expert without consequence during the duration of the project if you feel that your expert is not the right fit.
Fractional finance and accounting services offer several benefits, including cost savings compared to hiring full-time employees, access to a wide range of expertise, flexibility to scale services up or down and improved financial visibility and decision-making capabilities.
