CFO Simplified solves the problems AND the worries

At CFO Simplified, we believe in transparency, clarity, and making informed decisions.

Because of these values, we put our pricing right here on the website. Why don’t all outsourced companies put pricing on their website? We wondered that too, so we asked and, without fail, their answer was, “well, it’s complicated.”

Every company is different, every engagement ebbs and flows.

Some of our clients fit 100% in one of the areas outlined below. Usually, there is overlap. A company needs ongoing services and some additional options, a company wants Cash Flow Management but their Deep Dive suggests that a Profitability and Sales Channel analysis would benefit them.
The purpose of putting pricing on the website is so you can understand what your options are and make an honest assessment of whether you are committed to your companies financial health and the future profitability of your business.
