CFO / Controllership Services

Most larger companies have a full-time Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or Controller. These positions are responsible for establishing sound accounting policies, risk management, internal controls, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and more. But a company under $50 million in revenues usually doesn't have the resources to hire this position on a full-time basis.

We can act as your part-time CFO for a fraction of the cost of hiring good talent on a full-time basis.

Here's what a part-time CFO can help with:

Establish sound financial reporting policies and procedures. A solid set of financial reporting policies will help ensure the financial data you maintain is timely and accurate. The better the information you have, the better informed your decisions are.
Cash flow maximization
Review and improve internal controls. Good internal controls minimize the risk of fraud and embezzlement from within your company.
Business planning. Through solid annual business plans, budgets and projections, you can help navigate changes to the economy and your industry.
Review monthly financial results with you and/or your top managers to help improve understanding of the financial performance of your company.
Be the quarterback between other advisors such as legal and marketing.
