What does a Virtual CFO actually Means?

With the introduction of the concept of Virtual CFO, small businesses now receive support that they could not have afford previously. Virtual CFO has crafted a way for small companies to get access to an experienced financial professional at an affordable cost. Though the services of CFO differ from firm to firm,

However, the following services are common and often rendered to every firm that hires a Virtual CFO:

  1. It takes control of all the duties of a traditional CFO, but solely on a part-time basis
  1. Keeps an eye on the financial health of the business usually by adopting cloud technology
  1. Offer financial guidance and insight to the business on matters related to finance.
  1. Give companies back-office functions which include managing account ledgers, depending on the client and their needs.

Organizations deal with many challenges daily in terms of financial aspects, growth, accounting, and management. To curb those challenges, a need arises to appoint a Virtual CFO who can primarily be responsible for managing activities like financial reporting, record keeping and financial risks of the company. The presence of a Virtual CFO helps in meeting those challenges effectively by giving financial and professional aid, analysis and support to the management. Often companies that cannot afford to have an in-house CFO prefers to go with a Virtual CFO.

Growing Face of Accounting

Accounting is experiencing some significant changes in the process of its growth; the number of firms has increased exponentially who are vying with each other. Small private companies currently have so many decisions that standard services like tax preparation, bookkeeping, and compliance are turning out to be commoditised. There's so little differentiation in this packed market that it has affected the market value of these services.

Cloud technology is taking over accounting and is also reducing the basic value of accounting services. Firms that eloquently use cloud technology to manage their finance and accounting departments are more productive and efficient.
