Once I got over the fear of hiring workers that didn’t work, a Fractional CFO was a game changer. What has been your experience?

Why stop there instead of an entirely fractional executive leadership?

“Fractional” seems to be the modern-day buzzword for a 1099 contractor.
(and your experience will all depend upon the contractor)

I think this post is bait, but hiring executive contractors is essentially a terrible idea for startups.
Your 'fractional cxo' will cost as much as a full time junior, work very few hours, not care about your equity, and be mostly unconcerned whether you succeed or fail.
Get an employee who's dedicated to your mission and wants to prove themselves, or learn to do the job yourself until you can justify the hire.
