CFO Services
Achieving business growth is no easy task. But what if we were to say that the key to achieving it is in your hands?
As a business owner, you may have heard of the term “virtual CFO” or “outsourced CFO services” but aren’t quite sure what it is or if your business needs one.
In short, a CFO (Chief Financial Officer) service provides highly skilled outsourced financial planning and analysis to companies virtually, on contract or in-house.
It’s all in the data, and our expert team can help you dive deeper than ever before into those numbers to identify opportunities for growth. We’re able to help with this because we’re doing it for ourselves.
We work with you, not just to present financial reports, but to identify new ways to grow your profits and your business through your business’ data and reports. Our CFO Services can assist with budget vs variance analysis, growth and profit strategies, virtual CFO and advisory boards.
Teaming up with our bookkeepers and accountants, we develop a strategy that works for your business now and for the future.
By working with an experienced CFO Services professional, you’ll benefit from their experience and knowledge to grow your business. How we can help you:
Assisting you to ensure your business is listing-ready.
Creating compliant general purpose financial statements.
Creating business KPIs such as creditor and debtor days.
Discovering new methods and avenues for business growth and profits.
Ongoing compliance with auditors, tax professionals and policies.
Analysing the risk of new ventures you’re considering.
Advice tailored toyour business
A virtual CFO will add value to your business through their expert financial advice, while saving you on employing someone full-time in the role. Sometimes in business you end up in a cycle where you are just doing the same thing every day, without ever knowing if you’re making any progress.
Hiring a virtual CFO breaks this cycle by bringing in the right type of expert to not only help you track your progress but give you helpful tips on how to reach your business goals. Other benefits include:
- Greater flexibility and availability since virtual CFOs can work with your business remotely
- Reduced risk of hiring a full-time CFO who may not be the right fit for your company and,
- Access to a wide range of business tools and expertise, including bookkeeping and budgeting services.

A virtual CFO can also help if you are:
- Struggling to make informed financial decisions.
- Wasting money on unnecessary expenses.

Carlene is one of our OG’s, having started with us back in 2018. She took some time off when she had her son and returned in 2022 to assist our Melbourne bookkeeping team. Even with a brief career break, Carlene has perfectly slid back into her role and it’s as if no time has passed. Outside of work, you’ll find Carlene enjoying a sleep in, going for walks and trying a new pub each weekend.
