Your bookkeeping is up to date, BAS is lodged on time, but you still don’t have the financial insights you need to grow. That’s the gap a virtual CFO fills.
Signs You’ve Outgrown Basic Bookkeeping
- You’re making decisions based on bank balance, not profit
- You don’t know which products/services are most profitable
- Cash flow surprises you regularly
- You’re considering expansion but unsure if the numbers work
- You want to raise capital or prepare for sale
What a Small Business vCFO Provides
- Monthly financial review – Understanding what your numbers mean
- Cash flow forecasting – See problems before they hit
- Pricing analysis – Know your true margins
- Growth planning – Model the financial impact of decisions
- KPI tracking – Focus on what matters
When to Start
Most businesses benefit from vCFO support when revenue hits $500k-$1m. Below that, focus on getting bookkeeping right first.
Our outsourced finance function includes vCFO services at higher tiers. Let’s discuss what level of support makes sense for your stage.
