Virtual CFO · Sydney & Australia-wide

Making big calls without anyone to check the numbers?

A full-time CFO doesn’t make sense for most small businesses. Having someone senior to plan with, test an idea against or call before a big decision does. That’s what we offer, shaped around how you like to work.

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, you’re in the right place.

You’re thinking about hiring, expanding or buying equipment, and you’re not sure you can afford it.
Revenue is growing but profit isn’t keeping up.
You don’t know which customers, jobs or products actually make money.
There’s nobody to talk the numbers through with before you commit.

Questions owners ask

What is a virtual CFO?

A senior accountant who does the forward-looking work of a chief financial officer, such as budgets, forecasts and decision support, part-time and remotely, for a fixed monthly fee instead of a full-time salary.

Is my business big enough for a virtual CFO?

If you’re making decisions that could cost or make you serious money, it’s worth having someone senior check the numbers first. Andrew has kept the books for businesses from a few thousand dollars to $60 million in revenue.

Do we need to meet in person?

No. Most of our work runs in the cloud, with phone or video calls whenever you need us. If you’re in Sydney and prefer to meet, just ask.

Our other services

Most clients combine a few. They all sit under the same fixed monthly fee.
