Welcome!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 Director’ 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 Finance Director with ‘big business’ experience, but that person does not necessarily need to be full-time.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 / finance director 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 the UK back in 2001 and each year more and more business owners are choosing a part-time Finance Director 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.What would our CFO do for you?>Face to face/ Virtual sessions with a leading CFO>Cost effective & flexible to your needs>we work with your Accountant>Scenario modeling>Action planning>Revenue impact & stabilisation>Profit Improvement>Cash flow and Risk Management>Banking RelationshipsI welcome the chance to have a quick conversation with you, please get in touch with me via LinkedIn or through our website www.cfocentre.com/in (which has a great 3- minute video of how we can help)FD| Finance Director || CFO || Chief Financial Officer || Management Consultant || Financial Analyst ||
