Why Hire an Outsourced CFO?
In-house CFO salaries are expensive, and that’s not including benefits or bonuses. Depending on your company’s size and complexity, you may need the help of a CFO before you have enough work to keep that CFO busy full-time, or enough revenue to justify the expense. This often leads to companies putting off a CFO hire or hiring (or internally promoting) a less-experienced CFO for the position.
With an outsourced CFO, you receive top financial expertise only for the projects you need, and at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO of similar caliber.
