Whether your company is enjoying a major growth spurt or dealing with a decline in your business cycle, hiring an on demand CFO is a great way to leverage their strategic expertise to revolutionize your business. You don’t need to employ a full-time CFO in order to have a partner that helps ease your company’s growing pains, so you can focus on running your business.
An on demand CFO is quite different than an accountant or bookkeeper because their assistance extends beyond daily administrative tasks. They are responsible for driving your overall business strategy and ensuring that your business maximizes its financial advantages and minimizes its financial risk.
Following are four ways to utilize on-demand CFO services to stabilize – or revolutionize – your business.
1. Boost Cash Flow
Generation of internal cash flow is the life force of your company and should be the number one priority of any business, regardless of its size. Your on demand CFO will identify sustainable drivers of cash flow, increase the efficiency of working capital utilization (payables, receivables, inventory) and develop cash flow forecasts to provide a forward view of your business cycle and maintain a healthy cash flow.
2. Introduce Financial and Operational Structure
Experienced on demand CFOs bring both financial and operational expertise to your business. They will perform an internal review of your business structure and activities and implement strategies to lower costs, manage risk and enhance internal control measures.
3. Executive Leadership
Your on demand CFO will function as a sounding board for you and your management team, participate as an advisory board member and mentor key associates within your company. They will become the quarterback of managing your professional advisors to optimize the value they can add to your business by maintaining ongoing dialogue with them.
4. Strategic Advisor
Your on demand CFO will work with you to develop and clearly define the vision for your business and implement strategies to achieve your long-term objectives. They will work closely with your management team so everyone is well informed regarding how they will contribute to your company’s long-term vision.
