Outsourced CFO
Outsourced CFO for companies
An outsourced CFO takes on your company's financial management with the level of involvement you need. Depending on what we agree, it can range from planning and management reporting to running your entire finance department day to day: cash, accounting and dealings with banks, auditors and investors, without the fixed cost of an in-house team.

When it makes sense
You have partners, investors or banks
They expect regular information, forecasts and a solid financial counterpart. The outsourced CFO prepares that information and takes on that role.
An in-house team doesn't pay off yet
You get the experience of a finance director with a department behind them, with the involvement you need at each stage.

Frequently asked questions
What clients ask before getting started
If your question isn't answered here, write to us and we'll get back to you.
What is the difference between an outsourced CFO and an accountant?
The accountant records what has happened and handles compliance. The outsourced CFO looks ahead: planning, analysing profitability, managing cash and taking part in management decisions.
Can you run our entire finance department?
Yes. We can take on everything from receiving invoices, accounting, tax and cash management to reporting and financial management, or just the part you need if you already have your own team.
How does the switch from our current system work?
Gradually. During implementation your team keeps working as usual while we replicate the work in parallel. We compare results, align criteria and hand over once everything is stable.
Does the outsourced CFO work with my team?
Yes. They coordinate with your accounting department, your controller or our advisory team so that information is consistent, reliable and on time.
How is the fee calculated?
It depends on the scope, the level of involvement and the size of the company (for example, the number of sites or accounting entries). It is charged as a monthly fee, agreed after an initial conversation in which we send you a specific proposal.
