Services
Fractional CTO and CIO
Many firms need a senior technology voice but not a full-time salary. We act as your CTO or CIO for as many days a month as you need, sitting on your side of the table with suppliers and regulators.
What a fractional CTO does for you
- Sets a technology roadmap and budget tied to your business plans
- Reviews suppliers and contracts, and negotiates renewals
- Answers investor and client due diligence questionnaires on IT and security
- Prepares board and risk committee reporting on technology and cyber risk
- Oversees operational resilience, outsourcing and third-party risk
- Leads selection of new systems, from CRM and order management to telephony
- Supports launches, office moves, mergers and separations
Independent advice
Our advice is impartial. If another supplier or product suits you better, we will say so. You can use the service alongside an in-house team or another IT provider.
AI and data governance
Staff are already using AI tools. We help you decide which ones to allow, check what data Microsoft 365 Copilot would expose before you switch it on, and put policies and monitoring in place so client information stays where it should.
Common questions
How is the service priced?
Usually as a monthly retainer for an agreed number of days, with the option to add days for projects. We will propose a level after an initial review.
Who would we work with?
Richard McDonald, our founder, leads most CTO and CIO engagements. He holds the CISSP certification and has run technology for hedge funds and family offices since 2002.
