OUR Vision
To lead the market through excellence in providing financial consulting and services.
The Virtual CFO Advantage: Accessible Expertise
The Virtual CFO is a new way for businesses to get CFO support that they wouldn’t have been able to afford previously. Despite having an experienced financial professional at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO, a Virtual CFO will carry out all the duties of a traditional CFO, but work remotely and on a part-time basis.
An entrepreneur managing a growing business will definitely need a strategic partner to lead and manage the financial aspects of his business. Thus, Virtual CFO provides him with all CFO’s services, except the fact that the CFO will not be a full time employee. Although our CFO may not be present on-site all the time, he/she will always be there when needed.
Flexible Engagement: Scalable Support
Based on company’s size and growth stage, we provide a flexible engagement model, enabling you to increase/decrease engagement levels, through providing the opportunity of having the best CFO talent, according to your needs. Ongoing Virtual CFO retainer engagements vary between two to thirty-five hours a week. This flexible engagement model will help you keep your CFO budgets variable and low, but the experience will always remain enriching and notable.
