Financial Leadership for Businesses Built to Thrive
Financial Leadership for Businesses Built to Thrive
We provide Executive Financial Leadership as a Fractional CFO for companies that want to be different, lead in their industry, challenge themselves, and rise above.
Jeff Smith CFO LLC
Business is a mission. You are on a mission to add value to others. As you add value to others, you add value to your company. You may not be a “big” company, but as you grow you need financial leadership similar to those only a “big” company can afford. Adding value to your business allows you to pursue your mission of growing a strong valuable business and provide a good life for you and those working with you.
We are an outsourced virtual Chief Financial Officer firm. We generally work virtually with periodic onsite visits as appropriate. We believe that most small and mid-sized companies lack the financial expertise due to the high cost of having a full time CFO or controller on staff. The cost of having a full time CFO or controller can range from $150,000 to $450,000 per year plus bonuses and benefits. This is prohibitive to many companies.
We have a solution. A shared outsourced professional. You can have the expertise of a “full time” CFO at a fraction of the investment as you pay for the time for your business needs. This is a very cost effective way for you to have what larger companies have without the overhead burden. This will present strength and assurance to your investors and lenders by having Executive Financial Leadership where your competition may not.
Our services can be customized for your business and change as you change. If you have your own accounting or bookkeeping staff, we will work with them. If you have your own tax advisor, we will work with them. Don’t have either of those? No problem. We can provide that or help you build that team. We can provide more than just financial statements and tax returns. We are your Financial Executive. We will be your sounding board, report the numbers, forecast short and long term, work on plans to build cash and manage debt, attend leadership meetings along with you and help keep your business moving in the direction that makes it stronger.
We are flexible and align well with business owners and leaders who are friendly, flexible, open minded and “think outside the box”, who see their company culture as a key to their success, and believe adding value to others through their business is a mission. We want to add value so your mission of building your business is successful.
