CFO Services

How can a virtual CFO assist your small business?

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:

Strategy
Assisting you to ensure your business is listing-ready.
Report
Creating compliant general purpose financial statements.
KPI
Creating business KPIs such as creditor and debtor days.
Chess
Discovering new methods and avenues for business growth and profits.
Report and calculator
Ongoing compliance with auditors, tax professionals and policies.
Venture
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Virtual CFOs have become more popular in recent years as it’s a way for small and medium businesses to experience the benefits of expert financial advice without having to fork out a full-time salary.

A virtual CFO provides the experience and expertise which normally costs in excess of over $100K for only a faction of the cost. It allows small to medium businesses to enjoy the benefits of having a Chief Financial Officer without having to employ someone internally. Other benefits include helping improve profitability and providing guidance on making informed decisions about your company’s financial future.

Companies that stand to benefit most from virtual CFO services are rapidly growing businesses with complex financial needs. If your business falls into this category and you don’t have the in-house expertise to manage your finances adequately, then a virtual CFO could be just what you need to take your business to the next level.

A virtual CFO can also help if you are:

  • Struggling to make informed financial decisions.
  • Wasting money on unnecessary expenses.
  • Needing help to develop long-term financial goals.

Have a virtual CFO for a lower cost than having a person in the role, with the investment starting at $1000 per month. Contact us to let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll tailor our service for you.

  1. Determine what services your business needs by analysing its current financial state and long-term goals.
  2. Research different CFO service providers and compare their qualifications, experience, and areas of expertise.
  3. Contact each potential CFO service provider to understand better their approach to financial management and how they will help your business succeed.

You should engage with your virtual CFO at least quarterly to discuss your business and plan a pathway forward. That way, you can identify any possible issues before they cause problems for your business and ensure you’re on track to reach your business goals.

Have your very own CFO with our virtual CFO services.
