Confused About Your Business’ Financial Health?
Many business owners face challenges in understanding their company’s financial health, identifying their most profitable revenue streams, and managing their cash flow. Without clear insights into these critical areas, making informed decisions, planning for growth, and ensuring long-term success often becomes incredibly difficult.
As a seasoned Fractional CFO with 20 years of private sector experience, I specialize in decoding complex financial information, creating accurate financial projections, and implementing effective cost management strategies.
My goal is to offer you clear insights into your profitability, streamline your cash flows, and enhance your overall financial operations, empowering you to make confident, strategic decisions for your business.
My Services
Fractional CFO services
A Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is a senior executive who manages a company’s financial performance. In smaller organizations, the CFO often also acts as Director of Finance, Vice President of Finance, or Controller.
By retaining the services of a Fractional CFO like me, you gain access to high-level financial expertise without the expense of a full-time C-suite executive on payroll.
As a Fractional CFO, I can help with financial planning and analysis, cash flow management, setting and monitoring key performance indicators, and overseeing financial reporting.
Corporate Governance & Operations
Does the lack of internal controls make you anxious?
Are you frustrated by an overly complex Chart of Accounts or just launching your business and looking for help with setting up Quickbooks Online?
With my Corporate Governance & Operations expertise, I help you learn about the best practices, proper checks and balances, and cost-effective ways to reduce complexity without compromising security.
M&A Due Diligence & Financial Projections
If you ever consider buying a business, you are likely wondering about these questions:
- the target company’s financial health,
- is the asking price fair,
- how quickly you can expect to recover your investment amount,
- how you can go about financing the purchase
With my experience in M&A Due Diligence & Financial Projections, I can help you address all of these questions and ensure that you have almost everything that you need to make that vital decision of buying the business or not, potentially making or saving you millions!
Stakeholder Relationship Management
Ah! Stakeholders – the people who are most interested in your business, always wanting to ensure it is profitable.
These can be your employees, investors, customers, bankers, auditors, communities, regulators, suppliers, and vendors.
Effectively establishing, managing, and fostering relationships with stakeholders is often the difference between successful businesses and those that are no longer around.
A little secret – Building authentic relationships and finding win-win solutions happens to be one of my superpowers!
