A story of growth, guided by purpose

Since 2001, The CFO Centre has been redefining what’s possible for ambitious businesses. Built on a belief that financial leadership should be both accessible and transformative, we’ve grown from a single idea to the world’s leading provider of fractional CFO services*.

But that idea didn’t start in a boardroom—it started with our founder, Colin Mills, making the bold decision to leave behind a corporate CFO career in search of something more meaningful. His journey from overworked executive to entrepreneur on a mission set the foundations for everything we stand for today.

You can read Colin’s full story—and how one defining moment sparked the creation of The CFO Centre.

Today, our community of top-tier CFOs supports thousands of clients globally, driving outcomes that matter across cash flow, profit, growth, and exit. We continue to evolve, but our purpose stays the same: to deliver the numbers that really matter

From one idea to a global movement

The CFO Centre was founded in the UK with a simple but powerful goal: to give SMBs access to the same high-level financial leadership enjoyed by large enterprises, without the full-time cost.

From that starting point, our model quickly proved its value. Business owners found clarity, control, and confidence through strategic financial support tailored to their needs.

Over the next two decades, we expanded across regions and sectors, developing a proven process, refining our team approach, and building a community of experienced CFOs who work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients to make meaningful change.

Focused on the future, driven by people

Today, The CFO Centre is part of The Liberti Group. With over 750 CFOs worldwide, our reach is broad, but our focus remains personal. We work with businesses at every stage: improving cash flow, increasing profitability, scaling with confidence, planning successful exits, and strengthening in-house finance functions.

Our CFOs are more than advisors; they’re collaborators and champions. We select only the top 1% of applicants, not just for experience, but for mindset. Together, we help business owners move from pressure to performance and from ambition to achievement.
