In recent years, there’s been an increasing trend for startups and small businesses that could not otherwise afford an in-house chief financial officer (CFO). During Covid -19 period, there has been a demand from small businesses and startups to seek virtual CFO services, including outsourced financial management and government stimulus assistance.
So what is a virtual CFO?
A virtual CFO is an operational and financial professional who performs the services of a traditional chief financial officer. Instead of working for your business as a full-time employee, the virtual CFO works remotely, on a contractual, part-time schedule instead of delivering those services in person.
SME’s often require the service of the virtual CFO due to not having enough duties for a full-time, in-house CFO to justify the expense and headcount.
The virtual CFO essentially becomes a member of the company’s team backed by an internal team of accounting professionals with a wide variety of experience.
How can the virtual CFO service help your business?
