As a fractional CFO, you’re not just balancing books.
You’re building trust, increasing efficiency, and protecting margin.
But there’s one line item almost no one is touching…
credit card processing fees.
Most clients assume:
“We already negotiated”
“We’re locked in”
“Switching is too risky”
And they’re not wrong… but they’re missing the point.
The Real Problem Isn’t the Provider
It’s the pricing
And how quietly that pricing gets worse over time.
We partner with fractional CFOs behind the scenes to:
Audit merchant statements line-by-line
Benchmark pricing against live national data
Renegotiate rates directly with the processor
All without switching providers, software, or equipment.
You stay in the driver’s seat.
We handle the friction.
Your client sees measurable savings and you look like the one who made it happen.
You Weren’t Hired to Decode Merchant Statements
But this is a high-volume cost line that most processors take full advantage of.
Give your clients leverage they didn’t know they had.
If you’re advising on margin, vendor strategy, or cost control. This belongs in your playbook.
