If you are an entrepreneur, CEO or Managing Director running an ambitious company with fast growth potential and looking to build your company to ensure you get the very highest price for it when/if you decide to sell, our ‘part-time Finance CFO’ model may well be of interest to you…Ambitious companies looking to grow quickly need to build a quality finance function led by a senior CFO with ‘big business’ experience, but that person does not necessarily need to be fulltime.I’m a part-time CFO for The CFO Centre, the world’s number 1 provider of senior, high calibre part-time CFOs.Our business model means that growing businesses can take on a top quality CFO for a fraction of what it would cost to appoint one on a full-time basis.Our goal is to help busy CEOs and MDs free up time to grow their businesses while we take on the management of the finance function.We introduced this model to Australia back in 2009 and each year more and more business owners are choosing a part-time CFO over the full-time alternative.When we engage with our clients we perform a detailed review using our unique 12 Box Architecture which helps us to understand the areas of vulnerability (as well as the areas of strength) in your business before designing a comprehensive implementation plan.As an overview, we can help with:1.
