Common questions. Real answers.

A fractional COO or CFO gives your business access to senior executive leadership — without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. We embed with your team, handle real work, and deliver 20+ years of hands-on experience right when you need it.

BPO means handing off specific business functions — bookkeeping, finance & accounting, FP&A, payroll, HR, operations management, strategic development — to an outside expert. At FMP Consulting, we're U.S.-based professionals who embed with your business, work with your existing systems and staff, and deliver enterprise-level expertise at a fractional cost.

A bookkeeper handles transactions. A staffing agency fills seats. A traditional consultant hands you a report and leaves. We do none of those things. We become a part of your team, scaled to your needs today, and ready to grow with you into the future.

When you need senior expertise but can't justify a full-time hire. Fractional is right when you're scaling, cleaning up finances, preparing for a sale, or need multiple functions covered without hiring three executives. Some of our work starts fractional and grows into full-time. Either way, we scale with you.

Yes — and most of the work we do involves more than one. We're built for that. Whether you need one service to start or a fully integrated relationship across multiple functions, we'll put together the right mix.

No business is too small. We've partnered with start-ups that haven't filed their first document or hired their first employee. On the other end, we've worked with companies with hundreds of employees across dozens of states. Let's talk and we'll tell you where you fit.

We build pricing around what you need. Scope, time, and complexity all factor in — and we offer hourly rates, monthly retainers, and flat project fees depending on what fits. Most clients reduce costs 30–50% while getting comprehensive senior-level expertise across bookkeeping, finance & accounting, FP&A, payroll, HR, operations management, and strategic development. Let's chat and we'll put something together.

Once we've agreed on what you need, we can get started right away. Payroll can typically be transitioned within one to two pay cycles. Bookkeeping and accounting cleanup starts the same week. We don't drag our feet. Tell us what you need and we'll get moving.

Yes — on both counts. We work with QuickBooks, Xero, Gusto, Paylocity, Odoo, Dynamics 365, Sage, Zoho, ConnectBooks, and others. We fit into your team at whatever level makes sense — supplementing what you have, building from scratch, or making a change.

Financial clarity typically comes within the first few weeks. Operational improvements follow as processes get documented and KPIs defined. By 90 days, most clients have a meaningfully different business. Our clients have seen 60% revenue growth, 178% gross profit improvement, and 83% reductions in turnover.

Almost certainly! With experience spanning 50 states and dozens of companies, we've seen a lot — enough to know that every business is unique and you've never seen it all, but also enough for a lot of things to be familiar and to have a deep understanding of your customers, competitors, and industry. Let's chat about what sets you apart and see if we match!

We are based in Danville, PA and all work is performed by U.S. workers within the United States. We work remotely, on-site, or hybrid — depending on what your business needs.
