Email Body
Hi {{first_name}},
I support founders as a fractional CFO to improve cash visibility, planning, and board reporting.
Would you be open to a brief conversation about your current finance priorities?
If useful, I can share a focused opportunity brief for {{company_name}} that outlines quick wins, implementation effort, and likely 30-day impact.
Would you prefer I send that brief first, or would a short 15-minute call next week be better?Replace all {{variables}} with your actual information before sending.
