44 Fractional provides fractional and interim COO, CFO and CEO leadership for non-profits, foundations and digital asset organizations. Founded by Alex Bornstein, a non-profit leader with 30 years of experience, it brings a trusted adviser and hands-on operator, so you can put your time into the mission.
Choose what you need. Each service can run as a fixed-fee project, ongoing hourly support, or both, and ends in written policies and procedures with clear owners and records.
Your biggest financial and operational risks, rated by urgency, and what to do first.
An experienced COO, CFO, CEO or Executive Director, part-time or for a defined transition.
Budgets, reserve targets and a runway model, so you always know where you stand.
Know which controls work, which don't and what to fix first, including segregation of duties.
Staff, contractors and vendors paid accurately and on time, with clear approvals.
Legal, tax and worker classification risks found and resolved with qualified advisers.
Reconciled books, a monthly close and reports your board can use.
Consistent agreements and invoices, and routine work that runs the same way every time.
Written, followed and audit-ready policies, with system access and personal data protected.
We talk through your organization and what needs attention.
A clear scope with fixed fees, hourly rates and timeframes.
You approve the proposal and we sign an independent contractor agreement.
With records and systems in your own accounts from day one, and a written handover at the end.
A senior leader who works for your organization part-time. You get COO, CFO or CEO experience for the hours you need, without a full-time salary, benefits or a long executive search.
A consultant advises; an interim leads. As interim Executive Director or CEO, I run the organization day to day, manage staff and report to the board, within the authority the board gives me, until a permanent leader is in place.
Yes. Nearly all engagements are remote, and I work with organizations across the US and internationally. I travel only when an engagement calls for it.
Every engagement is priced to fit. The operational health check is a fixed fee quoted up front, projects have fixed fees once the scope is clear, and ongoing work is billed hourly with a weekly cap. Longer commitments are priced more favorably.
That's agreed up front. Health checks run up to four weeks, projects have a defined end, and ongoing fractional work has a weekly hours cap and continues until either side ends it on 30 days' notice. Interim roles last until a permanent leader is in place.
No. I work with non-profits and foundations of all kinds, including social services, food rescue and education. Organizations that hold or pay in digital assets get specialized treasury, custody and payment services on top.
No. I never hold private keys, seed phrases or signing devices, and I have no signing or approval authority over funds. Access is view-only wherever possible, through accounts you own and can revoke.
Yes. Fees are set in US dollars and can be paid in USD, USDC or other agreed digital assets.
No. Legal, tax, audit and investment matters are confirmed with your qualified advisers, and I coordinate their work.
