How a Fractional CFO Engagement Works
OmniScope360 runs every engagement the same way: a free discovery call, a written scope, a 90-day set-up, then a steady monthly rhythm. You always know what we are doing, what it costs and what you will have at the end of each month.
Step 1: Discovery call (free)
We walk through your numbers, your accounting software and what is keeping you up at night. You leave with an honest view of what to fix first, whether or not we work together.
Step 2: Written scope and fee
We send a proposal in writing: what is included, how many days each month, the deliverables and the fee. Engagements are either a fixed-fee project or a monthly retainer. Nothing starts until you agree the scope.
Step 3: The first 90 days
- Weeks 1 to 2: diagnostic of cash, the monthly close and reporting
- Weeks 3 to 6: a rolling 13-week cash forecast and a fixed close calendar
- Weeks 7 to 12: a one-page KPI dashboard, a budget and, where needed, a lender or investor pack
Step 4: The monthly rhythm
- A fixed close calendar, so management accounts arrive on the same working day each month
- An updated 13-week cash forecast
- A short review call in Muscat or Sydney time: what changed, what it means, what to decide
- Reporting in English or Arabic, in OMR, AUD or another currency
What we need from you
- Read access to your accounting software (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks or similar)
- Bank and loan statements
- One person on your side who can answer questions quickly
Your bookkeeper and registered tax agent stay in place. We lead the finance function around them.

Frequently asked questions
The set-up phase is 90 days. After that, most clients continue on a monthly retainer. The scope and the notice period are agreed in writing.
Do you replace my bookkeeper or accountant?No. We work alongside your bookkeeper and your registered tax agent. We build the forecasts, reporting and controls on top of their records.
How are fees set?Fees depend on scope. We agree a fixed-fee project or a monthly retainer in writing and send a proposal after the free discovery call.
