// EPISODE SUMMARY
Chris Ortega returns to The Owner Seat for a follow-up conversation on how the fractional CFO model is evolving in 2026 — and why the operators who are winning are the ones who stopped treating finance as a compliance function and started treating it as a growth lever. More on Fresh FP&A's approach, what's changed in the AI landscape for finance leaders, and the practical moves small-business owners can make right now.
