Do you spend time:
We understand your pain. As a business owner, you simply can’t do it all yourself, and you likely don’t have real financial expertise — or even proper bookkeeping — in-house.
To get to the bottom of any of these worries, you need to understand your true costs. And that requires looking more deeply than the individual totals in your monthly P&L, AR or expenses.
If you want things to change, having straightforward information can go a long way toward helping you make better decisions.
Do you really know what changes you should make? Maybe — but maybe not.
A part-time CFO from CFO Simplified is an investment in the long-term success of your business. A fractional CFO can give you a fresh, comprehensive perspective and often can see things you may be missing. More importantly, your new CFO can make needed changes happen..
That frees you to focus on what you and your company do best.
Think of how much faster you can move forward, with renewed confidence in your progress: We’ll produce financial reports, handle your monthly accounting, identify new operational efficiencies, and give you guidance on a strategic plan to help you achieve your goals.



As your outsourced CFO, we’ll deliver customized information about how your business is operating with specific insights on where to make improvements and the expert execution to make them happen.

Plus, we interview your top management. The result: a written report including detailed and practical solutions that can be implemented.
We review with you the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. What are the things that you’re doing well, what are the things that you should look at changing over time, and what are the changes you should make right now because they are putting your company at risk or costing you money? This is a one to two-hour meeting with you and your team to discuss our findings.
We propose a plan to address the priorities we’ve identified. We tell you how much time it will take to bring those elements of your company’s operations up to speed with best practices. We identify how your staff will be involved in the process, and the financial impact of the implementation
Now that we know your company, we can identify how much time we feel it would take to provide you with ongoing CFO support. This includes dashboards, cash flow forecasting, trend analysis, and customized KPIs.
