How and when do I get paid?

Getting paid is simple, and it happens automatically. Clients are typically billed upfront for the month, prorated for partial periods. Once the client's payment lands, your share is on its way, no invoicing or chasing required. Your fee is set out in your SOW and is anticipated to be 80% of what the client pays for your work, after Go Fractional's 20% platform fee.

If a client pays late, we follow up on your behalf so you don't have to. In the rare case a client never pays, Go Fractional can't guarantee that payment, but non-payment gives you every right to end the SOW.

Where do I set up or manage payouts?

Payouts run through Stripe. In the app, open Settings, then Payments, or go straight to app.gofractional.com/settings/billing. From there you can open your Stripe account to manage your payout details.

Prefer to be paid through your company? Connect your company's Stripe account. See Can I take on engagements through my own company instead of as an individual?

Where are the payment terms for my engagement written down?

In your Statement of Work (SOW). Go Fractional prepares one for every engagement, and it sets out the scope, length, fees, and payment schedule. You'll find your contracts in the app under Work, then Contracts (app.gofractional.com/work/contracts).

The Talent Terms of Service give the general framework. Your SOW has the specific dates and amounts.

Your payment depends on Go Fractional receiving the client's payment first. Please read your SOW before you sign and ask us anything about payment timing. We're happy to walk you through it.
