The Fractional Toolkit

The toolkit is the definitive list of tools and communities we recommend to help build a successful fractional practice. Most of the tools listed are used by Fractional Jobs founder Taylor Crane, or otherwise strongly endorsed by our community. Each one has also agreed to support our mission, typically through affiliate links or other similar partnerships.

Tools

Bookkeeping, taxes, and LLC setup for solopreneurs
We recommend
Collective
 
because they will significantly reduce the amount of back-office admin work you have to do each month (expenses, payroll, tax estimates, etc.). They're also specifically designed to save solopreneurs many thousands per year in taxes through S-corp optimization.

Catch

Health & benefits insurance for the self-employed
We recommend
Catch
 
because fractional employees don’t get employer-sponsored healthcare. You have to buy it on the open market, and Catch simplifies navigating the open market with a free benefits advisor.

Carry

Solo 401Ks & self-directed IRAs for business owners
We recommend
Carry
 
because a 401K is typically a benefit reserved for W2 employees. But business owners like fractional employees can set up a Solo 401K too, and Carry makes it incredibly easy.

Communities

Pollen

The education center for ambitious fractionals
We recommend
Pollen
 
because learning to be a successful independent consultant running your own business takes time. Pollen is a paid educational community that helps you shortcut this process through their Playbooks, expert advisors, and their educational sprints (which they're well known for).

FRCTNL

A free forum for fractionals with a tech-startup focus
We recommend
FRCTNL
 
for the startup-centric fractional technical folks. Developers, designers, and tech-focused marketers. FRCTNL is used for Q&A, knowledge sharing, and occasional meetups (in NYC).

Fractionals United

The largest Slack community of fractional leaders
We recommend
Fractionals United
 
for a vibrant Slack community of fractional leaders of all different shapes and sizes. They work across industries, with a focus on sectors like SMBs, PE-backed companies, agencies, and more.
