Outsourced CFO: financial management for your company

Financial management without hiring in-house: reporting, margin control, cash management and forecasting so that management decides with data, not intuition.

The decision problem

Deciding without financial visibility

Revenue that grows with no visible margin

There is no margin by business line, project or company. The income statement arrives late and unexplained.

Cash without forecasting

Without a cash forecast, you see problems when they are already upon you, not three months earlier.

Financing or a funding round on the horizon

They ask for information and it is not ready: no model, no data room, no comparable track record.

Financial management rests with one of the partners

Management hours spent on spreadsheets instead of on the business.

What it covers

The outsourced CFO: the 3 layers

On top of the core compliance base (accounting, tax and payroll) we add the three missing layers needed for a genuine finance function.

  • CFO

    Financial and strategic leadership, and relationships with banks and investors.

  • FP&A

    Financial models, budget, forecast and business KPIs.

  • Controlling

    Internal processes, invoicing and collections, governance and control.

  • Compliance foundation

    Accounting, tax and payroll. This is the layer that produces the financial information the three layers above work with.

Reporting and planning

Figures that are understood and used to make decisions

P&L, balance sheet and cash flow explained; a monthly close with commentary and comparison against budget and against the previous year. Cash forecast with scenarios (investing, taking on debt or paying dividends) and each option translated into months of runway.

  1. Internal processes

    Administrative agency, back office and management, with clearly defined roles and deadlines.

  2. Invoicing and collections

    Billings & collections cycle optimised and measured in days.

  3. Governance and controls

    Checkpoints to minimise errors and duplication.

  4. Due diligence and auditor support

    Support when a third party comes in to review the figures.

The management report

What you have in front of you each month

The close does not end with a balance sheet: it ends with a dashboard and a report that we review with you. This is the anatomy of that report.
