Outsourced CFO
Few companies, if any, have a long track record of consistent growth and profitability without careful financial planning, reporting, and money management. This is true even when the economic outlook is stable. Business prospects can be forecasted with some certainty but are even more important when a black swan event, such as a global pandemic, makes forecasting more uncertain.
The job of forecasting, monitoring, and reporting financials is the responsibility of the company’s CFO. These three are key: (a) accounting overview and financial reporting, (b) financial planning & analysis, and (c) treasury management. Regular financial reporting from the financial team to key stakeholders is a vital component of management information. However, many companies do not have the need, or the budget, for a full-time, experienced CFO. Therefore, hiring an experienced, appropriately skilled, part-time, or fractional CFO may the solution to this problem.
