Customized Reporting 

Obtaining customized financial reporting for your small business should be a huge reason to be looking for outsourced CFO services.  You need to decide on several reports that are crucial to you as a business owner.  Your CFO may even offer some suggestions of reports that you should be looking at.  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 to 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 and not an employee or contractor.  Your CFO should be analyzing your business as if it were their own and making suggestions.  You should have regular meetings with your CFO to review your current financial state.  Maybe you would need to meet on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis with a different agenda.  Our part-time CFO services will offer regular meetings to make sure that everyone is on the same page with the finances of the business.  If your CFO isn't a team player always acting in the best interest of the business then I don't feel they are doing their job properly.  In order to succeed your business will need a strong CFO that truly cares about the business.
