Meet the Team Behind Local Fractional
Senior leadership for growth-stage businesses -- built on trust, clarity, and decades of real operating experience.
How We Got Here
Taber Wetz and Chris Gauvin founded Local Fractional LLC in 2024 to build a boutique fractional offering for small to mid-sized companies focused on growth. Based in Dallas, they started under the dba Dallas Fractional CFO -- but the work quickly expanded coast-to-coast.
Local Fractional moves beyond a fractional CFO services firm. It is a trusted partner that aligns businesses with leadership vision. The team specializes in EOS and similar operating systems, giving founders and operators the financial and strategic infrastructure they need to scale with confidence.
"If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together."
That principle sits at the center of everything Local Fractional does. The goal is not to hand over a report and disappear. It is to embed with your team, build the systems you need, and help you execute on the plan -- together.
The Founders
Two operators who have been in the seat, built the systems, and know what it takes to scale a business the right way.
Chris Gauvin
Managing Member | Fractional CFO
Chris creates financial solutions that drive real value for small business teams. His emphasis is on agile financial management and data-driven insights -- the kind of clarity that lets owners make decisions with confidence rather than gut instinct.
He has implemented exit strategies for construction trade services businesses, bridging the gap between financial strategy and operational execution. When the numbers and the operations align, businesses grow faster and sell for more.

Our Approach
Most consultants hand you a report and disappear. We work differently — and that difference shows up in the results.
Embedded, Not Siloed
We join your team as operating partners, not outside advisors. That means attending your meetings, learning your culture, and being accountable for outcomes the same way a full-time executive would be.
EOS and Traction Alignment
We speak EOS fluently. If you are running the Entrepreneurial Operating System or a similar framework, we plug directly into your existing rhythms — Rocks, Level 10 Meetings, Scorecards, and all.
Data-Driven Decisions
Every recommendation we make is grounded in your numbers. We build dashboards, reporting cadences, and KPI frameworks so you stop making decisions by gut feeling and start making them with confidence.
Execution, Not Just Strategy
Strategy without execution is just a document. We stay in the work with you — managing vendors, running sprints, and holding the team accountable to the plan week over week.
