How much does a fractional chief revenue officer cost in Australia?
A fractional chief revenue officer in Australia typically costs between $8,000 and $25,000 per month, depending on days per week, seniority and whether performance components are included. Most engagements with growing SMBs sit in the $12,000 to $18,000 range for two to three days a week. See our full cost guide.
How does that compare to a full-time chief revenue officer?
Payscale data updated in February 2026 put the average base salary for a chief revenue officer in Australia at around $201,000, rising past $368,000 for senior hires, with total pay reaching as high as $611,000. On top of that sit superannuation, bonus, equity and a recruitment fee. A fractional engagement delivers the same calibre of leadership for a fraction of the all-in cost, and is active from the first week.
When should I hire a fractional chief revenue officer?
When growth has plateaued despite a good product, when the founder is still the de facto head of sales, when customer acquisition cost is rising without explanation, or when you are preparing for a raise or sale. We cover the full list in seven signs you are ready.
Fractional or full-time, which is right for my business?
For most businesses between roughly $1 million and $30 million in revenue, fractional is the right call: it gives you senior leadership at a fraction of the cost and risk. A full-time hire becomes compelling above roughly $20 million to $30 million, where the commercial function needs forty hours a week of attention. Read the full comparison.
How fast do you deliver results?
A fractional chief revenue officer is working in your pipeline in the first week, not the first quarter. The diagnosis phase runs in the first thirty days. Most engagements are structured so the cost is small against the revenue it protects or recovers, with payback often inside the first few months.
What is your guarantee?
If we do not deliver what we agreed, we keep working for free until we do. That is the whole guarantee, and it is why our engagements are priced with confidence rather than padded against the chance of failure.
What does a fractional chief revenue officer actually do?
They own your commercial strategy as a single system: the revenue systems audit, the pipeline architecture, the revenue operations implementation and ongoing accountable leadership. They are embedded in your leadership team, not delivering a report and leaving. See what a chief revenue officer does.
Which cities and regions do you work with?
We work with businesses across Australia, with dedicated pages for Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, through a mix of remote collaboration and on-the-ground time where an engagement needs it.
What size business do you work with?
Typically B2B businesses between roughly $1 million and $30 million in revenue across professional services, industrial and manufacturing, technology and B2B services. The common thread is a strong offer sitting on top of a commercial system that was never deliberately built.
How do we start?
Every engagement begins with a free discovery call and, usually, a revenue systems audit that sizes your biggest leaks before any ongoing work begins. You get evidence and a prioritised plan first, so you know exactly what you are buying.
