What is a Virtual CFO?
With a Virtual CFO, your business can partner with an experienced CFO on a flexible basis that suits your business needs. Whether you prefer remote assistance, on-site support (available in Melbourne), or a blend of both, a Virtual CFO can provide ongoing and project-based options to accommodate your requirements.
-
A Virtual CFO focuses on strategic planning and growth for your business. While an accountant generally handles compliance, tax preparation, and bookkeeping, a Virtual CFO assists with forecasting, strategic planning, process improvements, and change management programs.
-
A Virtual CFO helps businesses gain control over their financial position and sets them up for long-term growth. They offer services such as cash management strategies, financial analysis, forecasting, budgeting, risk management, performance monitoring, and strategic financial planning, as well as project support and finance change programs.
-
Hiring a talented and experienced in-house CFO can be a lengthy and expensive process. Additionally, a full time CFO does not allow for flexible resource allocation during business peaks and troughs. With a Virtual CFO, your business can access CFO-level expertise on a flexible basis without the high costs and rigidity associated with a full-time employee.
