What is a Virtual CFO?

Typical areas of support

Periodic dashboards, cash-flow forecasts, budget-versus-actual reviews and working-capital monitoring, as agreed in writing.

Preparing for a consultation

Gather recent financial statements, management reports, receivables and payables, and a list of decisions you need to make.
