Why your business needs a Fractional CFO

Most large businesses have a Chief Financial Officer (CFO), or other similar senior finance role leading the finance team and supporting the business, linking the day-to-day operations to the financial outcomes.

Your bookkeeper or admin support are helping to keep the invoices flowing and your books up to date, your accountant is filing your taxes and meeting your regulatory needs, but who is helping you understand and run your business better?

Many business owners are making financial decisions reactively, deciding whether to cover payroll or pay suppliers, struggling with cash flow surprises and wondering if they can afford to grow.

Are you constantly busy but disappointed at the end of the year when you see the profit (or lack thereof)?

Has revenue has increased but not profit?

Are you lacking metrics that tell how your business is actually performing today, not last quarter or last year?

Are you unsure what financial processes you can change to improve results?

Are you stressed because you don't know what you don't know?

What if you had a clear financial roadmap guiding every decision?

Whilst all small business owners take on many roles, watching every penny, investing in a strategic financial partner is one of the most impactful decisions you can make.  

A fractional CFO brings the expertise you need, when you need it, without the cost or commitment of a full-time role.  They'll bring clarity to your numbers, implement appropriate financial processes and systems and help you identify, understand and monitor your key performance drivers.

This shouldn't be delivered as a set of reports that you are left trying to interpret, or question whether they are even in English, but need to be linked to curated strategic themes, identifying a handful of key metrics that can be clearly presented on a single page, with practical, actionable solutions that can impact the business now.

Stop guessing

Start planning

Let's shift your business from short-term fixes to long-term stability and build a financial strategy that helps you see the big picture.
