Does your small business need part-time CFO services?  

What exactly does a part-time CFO Service offer?  

Many small businesses hire an accountant, a bookkeeper, a CFO, or "someone in charge of the money."  Call it whatever you like. Every business needs someone to manage its financial aspects.

However, if you are looking for a part-time CFO Service, you are most likely looking for a higher-level person.

Here is what SLC Bookkeeping has to offer.

Part-Time Services With A Full-Time Presence

One thing we are proud to offer is part-time services with a full-time presence.  

If you are a small business, you most likely can't afford to hire a full-time employee, yet you need someone who can offer a full-time presence. You need a service that can offer high-level work at part-time prices.

When you work with us, we become your CFO and will be available when needed. 

Things will come up in your business when you need someone right away. We make ourselves available to our clients via phone, email, and remote access as needed to offer them the highest level of service.  

Automatic Financial Updates Based On Your Schedule And Needs

When you use our CFO consulting services, we will assess your needs and develop a plan to meet them.

Once we understand your specific desires, we will propose a plan to manage your business's financial aspects.  

Your finances will become automated, and we will take care of everything.  

If you need updates on certain days of the week, we will make that happen. Your updates will be done automatically, and you will be kept in the loop throughout the process so that you know everything is being handled.

Customized Reporting 

Obtaining customized financial reporting for your small business should be a major reason to seek outsourced CFO services.  

As a business owner, you need to decide on several crucial reports. Your CFO may even offer some suggestions for reports that you should examine.  

It is always great to manipulate a report for a client and see them get excited. You should create a set of regular reports with your CFO that you would like to review and hold them accountable for delivering them in a timely manner.

As your business grows, so will your reporting needs, and your CFO should be flexible to the changes.

A CFO Partner To Grow With

Your CFO should be an integral part of your business, not just an interim CFO. You want a CFO that acts like a business partner, not an employee or contractor.  

Your CFO should analyze your business as if it were their own and make suggestions. You should also have regular meetings with your CFO to review your current financial state.  

Maybe you would need to meet weekly, monthly, or quarterly with a different agenda.  

Our part-time CFO services will offer regular meetings to ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding the business's finances.  

If your CFO isn't a team player who always acts in the best interest of the business, then I don't feel they are doing their job properly. Your business will need a strong CFO who truly cares about it.

If your small business needs part-time CFO services, then you are ready to take your business to the next level. You should look for a CFO who can meet your needs at a price that fits your budget. They need to be a high-level service that can offer you part-time solutions with a full-time presence.  

Your CFO Service should act like a business partner, not just a contractor.  

Are you ready to take your business to the next level but need some help with the financial aspects of the business?
