Simple. Transparent.
Built for busy people.
Waves Fractional removes every point of friction between a business that needs financial expertise and an independently licensed CPA who can provide it. Here's exactly how the process works — for both sides.
Five steps from profile to productive.
Your consultant comes to you. You never cold-search a directory and hope someone responds.
Create your business profile at absolutely no cost. Tell us about your company — size, industry, and the type of financial support you're looking for. No credit card required, no commitment to post a contract.
Inside the platform, describe what you need. Define the scope of work, your preferred hourly budget range, expected hours per week, and project timeline. The more specific you are, the better the applicants you'll attract.
Independently licensed consultants review your posted contract and apply directly. You'll see each applicant's profile — including their CPA license status, years of experience, industry background, and hourly rate tier. You review on your timeline. No pressure, no sales calls from us.
Choose who you want to speak with. The free 30-minute scoping call is your chance to confirm fit — ask about their approach, experience with businesses like yours, and how they'd handle your specific challenge. No commitment. No fee. If it's not the right fit, speak with another applicant.
A Statement of Work is created and executed through the platform — defining hours, deliverables, rates, and timeline. All payments are processed by Waves Fractional. Your consultant tracks hours inside the platform. Transparent billing every cycle. Waves Fractional handles 1099 reporting at year-end.
