Benefits of a Fractional CFO

Why You Should Hire A Denver Fractional CFO

Hiring a Fractional CFO provides your business with a seasoned perspective to address challenges and discover new opportunities.

Financial Reporting

Financial reporting is vital for tracking a business's fiscal well-being. Fractional CFOs can review your existing accounting practices, controls, and systems, working to guarantee precision, adherence to regulations, and streamlined operations. With their specialized knowledge, they can introduce best practices, refine the financial reporting process, and fine-tune accounting functions. By taking advantage of their expert guidance, companies can boost the reliability and efficiency of their financial reports, resulting in better-informed decisions and a more transparent view of the overall financial health of the enterprise.

Financial Planning & Analysis

Fractional CFOs can assess and elevate your FP&A capabilities, focusing on the alignment, accuracy, and efficiency of financial forecasting, budgeting, and analysis. They bring expertise in identifying areas for improvement, suggesting enhancements, and implementing best practices to optimize FP&A functions. By leveraging their insights, businesses can gain a clearer view of financial trends, make more informed decisions, and align financial strategies with organizational goals, strengthening the financial acumen and agility of the company.

Advisory

Fractional CFOs are vital players in the business advisory process. They bring specialized knowledge in assessing organizational challenges, identifying growth opportunities, and providing tailored solutions aligned with the company's strategic goals. CFOs are essential in formulating actionable insights, strategic planning, and evaluating the financial implications of business decisions. By harnessing their expertise and guidance, businesses can navigate complex financial landscapes, make well-informed choices, and implement strategies that drive growth, enhance performance, and foster success in various advisory engagements.

Cash Management

Fractional CFOs can support your cash flow management challenges. They will examine your cash flow procedures, scrutinize the flow of money into and out of the company, and pinpoint areas for improvement. Their expertise will help refine cash flow predictions, keeping tabs on available funds, and improving the management of working capital. With their assistance, companies can bolster their cash flow standing, maintain adequate liquidity for day-to-day operations, and make educated choices that bolster financial steadiness and expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ask a CFO to do something when I don't know what needs to be done?

You don't know what you don't know, which makes it difficult to ask for help in areas where you are not sure what the improvements are or if they're even needed. We will commonly perform an assessment of your organization's finance function at the start of any engagement. It is the CFO's job to inform the CEO about both what is needed from a finance perspective as well as where finance can contribute additional value to the overall vision of the company.

How many hours does a Fractional CFO work?

Fractional CFOs work a flexible number of hours based on the changing needs of the business they serve. This could be a few hours a month up to 10 or 20 hours a week.

What if I don't know how often I need the Fractional CFO?

Fractional CFOs are used to working flexibly and on-demand. This means that you may need them close to full-time for a few weeks before converting to a low number of hours for ongoing guidance. Your business may not need the full-time support of a CFO, but having fractional guidance to support your controller and advise your CEO can be an invaluable asset in creating company strategy.

When does a startup need a fractional CFO?

A startup can benefit from the council of a seasoned industry CFO from day one, but realistically the startup won't have demands on their finance and accounting function that warrant the involvement of a CFO until they've raised seed capital. Preparing for future rounds of funding is just one of the many areas that a fractional CFO can add value to a startup.

What to look for in a fractional CFO?

A fortune 500 CFO may not make the best fit in a startup environment. Similarly, a fractional CFO with a background in telecommunications is unlikely to have the expertise needed in a healthcare organization. A CPA can be a great credential to find in a CFO, but not every company will need a CFO with a heavy background in accounting. Circumstances vary for each company depending on the stage and needs of the organization.

What should a fractional CFO do at a company?

A fractional CFO's involvement depends greatly on the stage and needs of the organization. In smaller companies, the fractional CFO may personally take on a broad set of responsibilities, including managing the books, negotiating contracts, and more. In a larger company, the fractional CFO may oversee and guide the controller who manages the accounting function as well as other leaders in the finance function.
