Fractional CFO
The CFO is to a company what a Navigator is to a ship at sea:
They have the heading, knowledge of the charts and capabilities of the ship & crew that all together ensure the ship reaches its destination.
They are expert planners, and align your company’s available working capital, cash flows, trends in sales & costs, performance of your assets, and investment opportunities with your overall financing package - and to find leverage among your financial & operating assets to deliver the highest returns on investment.
Controllers are expert financial operators - your First Officers.
Controllers know the business inside and out, understand the underlying economics, and can build & run what is needed to make it all happen efficiently:
Accounting, Billing, Payments, Financial Statements, Tax Compliance and the systems and people that power all of those – are just a few of the work areas directly led by the Controller.
