Do You Need a CFO in Your Business?
May 17, 2023Why might a business need a CFO? Some businesses feel that they have a good grip on their finances and can handle everything on their own, which may be true. But what if there were some opportunities being overlooked?
It is important to have a grounded understanding of a business's financial numbers. As a fractional CFO myself, I am responsible for identifying these gaps and having tough conversations with CEOs to challenge their ideas and ensure focus on what is working and bringing in revenue.
I will discuss some tips to determine if you should look into a CFO, and how a CFO can guide and coach a business to succeed and grow.
The key takeaways from this episode are:
1. A CFO can help identify opportunities and gaps in a business's financial numbers that may be overlooked without their expertise.
2. A CFO can guide and coach a business to succeed and grow by challenging ideas and ensuring focus on what is working and bringing in revenue.
3. Fractional CFOs can provide benefits over full-time CFOs, such as flexibility and cost savings.
