Virtual CFO Services aimed at Business Sustenance and Growth

 Every organization be it a Large Corporation or a Start-Up or a Mid-Size requires a Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Most small & mid-sized organizations hire a Controller & NOT a CFO & mostly are unaware of the services carried out by a CFO & the different skill sets required to carry out the Virtual CFO Services.

One of the more popular facts is that 90% of the Start-Ups fail, out of 10% businesses that survive, fewer than 50% of these businesses make it their fifth year & further only 33% of them make it to their tenth year & another interesting fact to note is 40% of failure is due to Cash Flow Problems.



Thus one of main problem keeping the business from growing into a profitable venture is FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & a typical Controller would not be completely equipped to financial management functions & thereby putting the Organization at huge Risk. A Controller is highly skilled to tackle your book-keeping & establishing Internal Controls & compliance issues, however may not be adept in tackling certain CFO Services such Strategic Planning, Budgeting etc.

The Finance Department functions mainly involves the below activities:


Thus there are certain CFO Services which required specialized skills to help drive the Strategic planning & thereby every organization needs a CFO. However hiring a Virtual CFO who can start providing the organization & their board of directors the kind of valuable information to enable the organization to achieve the required growth won’t come cheap & would involve huge financial commitment for a small & growing Company.

Thus it makes sense for small & mid-sized companies to outsource the CFO Services of the organizations to Virtual CFO Firms.

SOP- FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING

Numerous transactions happen, new clients are acquired, additional engagements with existing clients are commenced, contracts are renewed/terminated as well as payments are received and made, on a daily basis. A large number of employees – having diverse character, age experience, etc.- join; employees leave, take casual leaves and change roles every day. A reputed company cannot afford disruptions in its service or deterioration of its reputation because of the daily changes that take place within the organization. That is where Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) come into play. SOPs are a set of procedures, relevant to an organization’s domain and composed by the organization itself.
