Breakaway Advising

06/18/2026

Hiring fractional doesn't mean hiring less. With a Breakaway advisor, you get a dedicated professional who knows your business personally, plus the collective knowledge of a 40+ person advisor community (and growing!) ready to provide support and insights.

Hundreds of years of accounting experience, one monthly rate, zero overhead. That's a pretty good deal for a small business that just wants its finances handled well.

When you hire a full-time employee, salary is just the beginning. Add in benefits, payroll taxes, equipment, onboarding time, PTO coverage--the real cost of a hire can be 1.25 to 1.4x their salary before they've done a single task.

With a Breakaway advisor, your monthly rate is your monthly rate. No hidden costs, no surprise overhead, no wondering what you're really paying.

You get experienced, high-level financial support without the unpredictability of adding headcount.

Your bottom line has enough variables. Your accounting support shouldn't be one of them.

What happens if your fractional bookkeeper or CFO suddenly needs to step away? If they're a solo operator, you might be left scrambling.

But Breakaway advisors are backed by a network of 40+ fellow advisors (and growing), which means if your advisor ever needs coverage, someone qualified is ready to step in--no gaps, no panic, no starting over. Your books keep moving, and your business doesn't skip a beat.

That kind of continuity is hard to find, and it's crucial for small business owners working with a lean team. We get it, and we've got your back.

At a big accounting firm, you might be client #347. At Breakaway, you're one of a select few, and a personal relationship.

Our advisors intentionally keep a small client roster so they can really get to know your business--not just your numbers, but your goals, your pressures, and what keeps you up at night.

When you reach out, they know who you are. When something changes in your business, they notice.

That kind of attention isn't just nice to have. It's what actually moves the needle.

Your CFO just left unexpectedly.

The search for a replacement hasn't even started, and you're already thinking about everything that can't wait--the reporting, the forecasting, the financial decisions that need someone in the room who actually knows what they're looking at. You can't put the business on hold while you interview, hire, and onboard someone new. That process could take months.

This is exactly where a Breakaway advisor steps in.

From day one, your advisor is embedded in your operations: running the day-to-day, keeping your financials clean and current, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks while you figure out your next move.

And when you're ready to hire, your advisor can help with that too: sitting in on interviews, evaluating candidates, and helping onboard whoever comes next so the transition is seamless.

All with one flat monthly rate, no overhead, no long-term commitment.

A client came to us earlier this year when their controller unexpectedly went out on medical leave. They had a financial close coming up, payroll to run, and a team that was already stretched thin. Hiring a full-time replacement wasn't realistic on that timeline, and they couldn't afford for things to fall through the cracks.

We matched them with a Breakaway advisor within the week. She was already fluent in their tech stack, so onboarding was minimal. She stepped in, got up to speed on their books quickly, and kept everything moving--including delivering clean, accurate reporting right on schedule.

By the time their controller was ready to return, the transition back was smooth, with no backlog and no surprises.

The client got the accounting support he needed, and the controller didn't have to worry about coverage. Instead, she instead was able to use her medical leave to heal and fully recover.

That's exactly why we do what we do.

If your business is navigating a staffing gap--planned or otherwise--a fractional Breakaway advisor can step in without missing a beat. Reach out at breakawayba.com/contact-us to start the conversation.

The market shifts. Your revenue fluctuates. Your team changes. The last thing you need is a fixed financial commitment that can't flex with you.

That's one of the biggest advantages of working with a fractional Breakaway advisor--the relationship is built to adapt.

Need more support during a period of growth? We can scale up.

Going through a leaner season and need to pull back? That's okay too.

You stay in control, and your financial support moves with you.

In a world where certainty is hard to come by, that kind of flexibility is crucial.

Your bookkeeper gave two weeks notice, and your CFO just went on emergency medical leave.

Now what?

A Breakaway advisor can step in without missing a beat--vetted, tech-enabled, and ready to plug into your workflow from day one. No scrambling or long-term commitment. Just steady, experienced support for as long as you need it.

Our advisors enjoy developing long-term relationships with their clients, but they can also provide short-term support when needed.
