PROBLEM: Bad information leads to bad and potentially costly business decisions. In order to make sound business decisions at critical times companies need reliable and current financial information that informs the analysis and ultimately the decision making process. The vast majority of small companies do not have such information readily and regularly at their fingertips. Tight financial controls with books of account that are maintained daily put a business owner in the best possible position to succeed and indeed excel, gaining advantage over the competition. The absence of financial controls and well-run accounting systems are at the root of many business failures and likely most business under-performance issues. Since most business owners are not experienced formally trained accountants, they lack the insight to know the difference between competent and incompetent accounting staff.
For companies that have successfully developed solid controls and reliable accounting, often the CFO function is missing. High Level CFO’s can demand salaries beginning in the low $200’s. Understandably, most closely held businesses struggle to staff the accounting function at less than half that number. Yet the financial and business strategy offered by Business CFO’s can be invaluable in helping companies chart their strategic course and achieve their long-term goals.
