I'm the founder of Fractionary. After 15+ years building budgeting, management reporting, KPI, and forecasting systems inside large corporations, I now bring that same rigor to consulting firms and professional services businesses — as an advisor, and as the person who builds the dashboards.
Service businesses look healthy on the top line — until scope creep, idle resources, and slow billing quietly eat the bottom line. By the time month-end reporting catches it, the damage is already done.
You can't say which clients or projects are actually profitable until weeks after the work is done.
Profitable on paper, tight in the bank. Without a rolling forecast, surprises show up at the worst time.
Month-end close eats days that should go to decisions, not data wrangling.
I don't just hand you a framework and leave. I build the reporting systems myself, inside the tools you already use — for service businesses and production companies alike.
Strategic input on the financial questions that actually move your business — without the full-time cost of a CFO.
I design and build the dashboards and processes myself — in Excel, your accounting platform, or BI tools.
For production companies: see exactly why margin moved — not just that it did — plus a disciplined view of expenses ahead.
Fractionary is newly founded — these line items reflect the type of impact this work typically delivers.
"Darek was my financial controller and we managed the $330m Cisco Enterprise and Public Sector Professional Services P&L together. He was the best financial partner I had running the EMEA professional services business for Cisco. He was key to us accurately forecasting our revenue and costs and generally reporting on our business, adding a deep understanding of the different business levers. He has an excellent business sense, and his advice to me was precious. He is direct, incredibly hard working, reliable under pressure, a good team player mixed with an easy-going, playful style which was a fantastic addition to our team.."
"I worked with Darek (Dariusz) for couple of years at Cisco and I was highly impressed by his business understanding, integrity and work passion. Darek is a tremendous asset in any team and his business partnership are phenomenal. I would recommend Darek for any team facing multinational fast growth where his knowledge of the EMEA theater and business process oriented experience will be highly valuable."
"If there is only one thing to remember about Darek is that he makes Finance fun. In the years that I had a fabulous chance to work with him, he worked incredibly long hours to build and track our Services P&L. But he always did it with a laugh and smile - whether he had good or bad news. Whenever we faced a challenge, he would suggest a fix and work collaboratively with any member of the operations team. You could not have a better business partner than Darek!"
