An outsourced CFO enables any business to improve performance and accelerate growth

A CFO and/or financial manager is a critical part of the value chain of any business or organisation. No significant and long-term value can be created without any of them.

A CFO provides leadership to Finance departments and functions in order to:

  • support new business models,
  • enable businesses and organisations to achieve its strategic goals and objectives,
  • boost business performance and manage enterprise risks optimally,
  • leverage insight-driven decision-making and problem solving for investment and operational purposes by compiling and providing relevant data and information to management, investors and other stakeholders,
  • raise capital, funding and credit at low cost and reasonable terms to enable businesses and organisations to finance the implementation of its operational and strategic plans,
  • digitally transform the processes and systems of businesses and organisations in order to boost its productivity, agility and competitive advantages,
  • drive sustainable value creation in businesses and organisations ,
  • assist businesses and organisations to satisfy the needs of its stakeholders and comply with relevant laws and regulations.

Outsourcing of CFO’s and financial professionals

We outsource CFO’s and senior financial professionals to medium-sized and large businesses, state-owned entities (SOE’s) and other organisations in order to build and strengthen capacity in their finance departments and functions in cases when:

  • there is a vacancy or the finance professional is on leave,
  • the finance department and/or CFO lacks appropriate skills and  competencies,
  • the current CFO would like to manage and implement major projects but need specialised assistance,
  • the finance function is to be restructured,
  • financial analysis and planning must be performed but the entity does not have such competencies,
  • the SME cannot afford a full-time CFO, financial manager or accountant,
  • a CFO or a specific financial professional is needed to perform any other relevant function or tasks.

The outsourcing could be temporary, interim or any duration of period, depending on the business’ needs and requirements. However, the CFO and senior financial professionals are always under the control and direction of the client.
