Virtual CFO

A full finance function on retainer: management reporting, working capital control, forecasting and the discipline of a monthly close.

What this covers

Scope of the engagement.

A brief outline of what an engagement of this kind typically involves.

I

Management reporting

Regular MIS and management reports prepared for ongoing oversight.

II

Working capital control

Monitoring and control of working capital as part of routine finance management.

III

Forecasting & budgeting

Financial forecasts and budgets to support planning and decision-making.

IV

Monthly close discipline

A structured monthly close carried out with the same rigour as an in-house finance team.

In detail

What the engagement covers.

What the work involves, and the business situations that typically bring it about.

What it involves

  • Periodic management information systems (MIS) and reporting
  • Working-capital monitoring and control
  • Annual budgeting and rolling forecasts
  • Cash-flow management and planning
  • Disciplined monthly close and financial statement review
  • Board and investor reporting support
  • Ongoing financial decision support on retainer

Business situations

  • A growing business that needs finance leadership but not a full-time CFO
  • A business without regular, reliable management reporting
  • A promoter group wanting ongoing financial oversight without building an in-house team
  • A business preparing for scale, funding or a future CFO transition
  • A business seeking the discipline of a monthly close on a retained basis

Value. Ongoing finance leadership, on retainer, gives a growing business the reporting discipline and decision support of an in-house CFO function without the fixed cost of one.
