The right leader, for exactly as long as it matters.

A fractional executive is a senior C-suite leader, typically with 20 or more years of operating experience, who embeds in your business on a part-time or retained basis. The engagement is structured as a company-to-company contract: your leader holds the decisions in their domain, executes alongside your team, and is accountable to business outcomes. The model is well established globally and increasingly familiar to the founder and operator community in Bali, where businesses often need genuine C-suite capability before they can justify the fixed cost of a full-time hire.

No. A fractional engagement is contracted between your PT PMA and the executive's entity, so there is no employment relationship, no KITAS work permit to sponsor, and no BPJS Ketenagakerjaan or Kesehatan employer contribution. That is precisely why the model suits foreign founders: you gain on-island operator leadership without taking on the immigration, social-security and severance obligations a permanent senior hire would carry.

Engagements typically cost 30 to 60% less than a full-time executive at the same seniority level, invoiced cleanly in IDR between entities. There are no recruitment fees, no BPJS employer contributions, and no Omnibus-Law severance to provision for. A Jakarta-benchmarked CFO commands roughly IDR 1.0 to 1.6 billion a year, and that calibre rarely lives in Bali; a fractional arrangement gives you the seniority and the time the role requires, with one month's notice to adjust as your priorities shift.

The model suits any business that needs genuine C-suite capability but cannot yet justify a full-time hire. In Bali, that tends to mean hospitality and villa groups building operational and financial rigour, multi-outlet F&B brands expanding across Canggu, Seminyak and Ubud, wellness and retreat ventures scaling across markets, and remote-first companies establishing a management layer as the business grows. The common thread is a business at a pivotal moment, where the cost of the wrong decision outweighs the cost of the right leader.

A consultant produces analysis and recommendations and steps away. A fractional executive embeds in the team, holds decision-making authority within their function, and is measured on business outcomes rather than deliverables or presentations. They work inside your business alongside your people, not at arm's length from it, for as many days a week as the role actually requires.
