Sometimes it’s hard to know the direction you want to take your business. Our business advisory services are customizable to your needs.
Businesses of all sizes benefit from hiring a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or controller. But many small business owners worry that they can’t afford it. Maybe you’ve been trying to take care of your business financials in your spare time (or ignoring them altogether), but quickly realized it’s a losing battle because unless you’re an accounting professional yourself, your expertise lies elsewhere.
Fortunately, there is a cost-effective solution: part-time, outsourced CFO services.
When you take advantage of our outsourced CFO services, you get a dedicated, experienced financial professional who helps you make the tough business decisions you need to guide your business to future success.
You’ll also have a better understanding of the financial side of your business based on hard numbers. No more guessing about whether you’ll qualify for that loan to buy more equipment or wondering why you’re always short of cash.
Every business faces risk, but with an effective system of internal control measures in place, that risk is mitigated. This is not a task that is easily accomplished in-house, however, because as a business owner, your focus is running your business, managing employees, and turning a profit.
As trained professionals, we have assisted many business owners in creating effective internal control systems to prevent employee fraud, ensure compliance with regulations, and make sure company policies and procedures are in place so that your business operations are effective and efficient. We work with your business to identify and document weaknesses with existing internal controls, then perform procedures to test whether the current internal controls you have in place are effective. Finally, we offer recommendations in a report of findings that can be used to strengthen your internal control systems, and that reflect the needs of a particular business.
