why a Virtual CFO is good business

This is a global business market. With companies working remotely and having employees, customers, stakeholders and consultants working in various corners of the globe.

The role and function of a Virtual CFO can be transformative helping companies to realise their strategic ambitions. Bookkeepers are great at producing accounts but in todays fast changing world it is data analysis, data analytics and interpreting numbers and trends that make a dramatic and measurable difference.

Virtual CFOs provide financial expertise to companies remotely. They offer the flexibility of a tailored, part-time financial service – yet one that is always available to answer questions and monitor and analyse business performance. This allows smaller companies to access high level insights typically reserved for larger corporations.

Outsourcing a CFO is cost effective without the headaches of sick leave and annual leave. The Virtual CFO engagement can be expanded as the business grows.

Virtual CFOs bring a unique perspective and skills to the role – often they have worked in varying industries and occupations and supported businesses as they move from start up to growth phase.

Finding the right CFO is important – they often also become a mentor and a business coach for companies as they grow.

The business financials are the key to knowing current and future financial position. However, the real skill from a Virtual CFO is being able to interpret the financials – what do they mean for strategy, sales goals, performance goals, competition, capital requirements and more.

Virtual CFOs will help generate in-depth reports, conduct financial analysis, and offer advice to make the right strategic decisions.
