    Is your business ready for a CFO? While all businesses can benefit from expert financial guidance, it really depends on your goals. Do you have a vision for the future of your business? Do you know what steps you need to take to realize this vision? If your business is growing (or struggling), you need a proactive approach to financial management. This is where professional financial advice becomes crucial. As an experienced CFO I can help your business: -Develop a solid accounting infrastructure with strong internal controls and segregation of duties for accurate and reliable financial reporting. -Manage and improve cash flows so that the business has enough cash available at the right time to take advantage of any attractive opportunities. Cash is the lifeblood of any business. You can easily go broke while making a profit if your business lacks proper cash management. -Implement and oversee company budgets with an emphasis on reducing cost and plugging any money leaks. -Prepare and analyze financial statements in real time to support strategic decision making. -Establish key performance indicators. -Financial forecasting for growth and business development. -Measure financial results and course correct accordingly. -Provide CEO coaching and financial education for confident decision making. You likely already have an accountant or bookkeeper to compile and reconcile your books and a CPA to prepare and file tax returns. Keep in mind that a CFO is different. An experienced CFO is an expert in financial management. I don't replace your accounting and tax team. The cost of hiring a full-time CFO can range from $120k to over $250+ per year (not including bonuses, benefits, and employer taxes). Most small to medium sizes businesses are not at a stage where they need to hire a fulltime CFO. Hiring a CFO on a consulting basis can give you the experience you need at a fraction of the costs. I’m a CFO/CPA with 15+ years of financial management and accounting experience. I have a diverse background and have supported businesses of all sizes in a wide array of industries. I provide financial, operational, and analytical support to small and medium size businesses and nonprofit organizations. Main industries I serve are: Construction, SaaS, IT, Cybersecurity, Nonprofit, Professional Services, and others. Contact me for a free consultation.
