Frequently Asked Questions
What is Green Kite?
​
Green Kite is a platform of experienced fractional executives who support growing startups across finance, operations, strategy, and more. We provide leadership without the full-time commitment.
What is a fractional executive?
​
​A fractional executive is a seasoned leader who works with your company part-time or project-based. They bring deep expertise and strategic focus, tailored to your stage and needs.
When should I bring on a fractional executive?
If you're preparing to scale, raising capital, launching new initiatives, or lacking senior leadership in a key function, a fractional partner can provide immediate value.
How do they work with my team?
Green Kite executives integrate into your team as hands-on collaborators. They bring clarity, help drive execution, and work side-by-side with founders and staff to move the business forward.
What roles can Green Kite support?
We specialize in fractional CFO, COO, and strategy leadership, but also partner with experienced operators in GTM, growth, and special projects. If the role is critical, we can likely fill it.
What does it cost?
​
Engagements are typically structured as monthly retainers, with flexible scopes depending on your needs. Our model gives you executive-level talent at a fraction of the full-time cost.
How do I measure impact?
​
We focus on clear outcomes: better financials, operational scalability, cleaner reporting, faster decisions, and investor readiness. You’ll feel the difference quickly.
How much time do they commit?
​
It varies by engagement. Some executives work 10–20 hours per month; others go deeper during critical moments like a fundraise or launch. We tailor support to match your priorities.
What tools do they use?
​
Our team is fluent in modern startup stacks - financial software like QuickBooks and Xero; ops tools like Notion and Asana; and data/reporting systems that scale with you.
Can you share past client examples?
