Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Virtual CFO and how does it differ from a traditional accountant?
A Virtual CFO (Chief Financial Officer) provides strategic financial leadership and business advisory services remotely, going far beyond traditional accounting compliance. While accountants focus on historical reporting and tax compliance, a Virtual CFO analyses your business performance, forecasts future scenarios, and guides strategic decision-making for growth.
Our Virtual CFO services include cash flow forecasting, financial planning and analysis, KPI development, strategic planning support, investment advisory, and growth strategy development. You get enterprise-level financial expertise at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time CFO, perfect for businesses turning over $500K-$10M who need strategic financial guidance.
Virtual CFO services are typically priced as monthly retainers ranging from $2,500-$8,000 depending on business complexity, revenue size, and scope of services required. This represents significant savings compared to hiring a full-time CFO (typically $150K-$300K annually) while providing the same strategic expertise.
Our Virtual CFO packages are customised based on your needs, including monthly financial reviews, quarterly strategic planning, cash flow management, and ongoing advisory support. Most clients see ROI within 3-6 months through improved cash flow management, cost optimisation, and strategic growth initiatives that increase profitability.
Monthly financial reviews include comprehensive analysis of your profit & loss statements, balance sheet review, cash flow analysis, budget vs actual comparisons, KPI tracking, and variance explanations. We identify trends, opportunities, and risks that impact your business performance.
Our monthly review process includes executive dashboard creation, profitability analysis by product/service line, expense optimisation recommendations, revenue trend analysis, and strategic recommendations for the following month. You’ll receive detailed reports within 10 business days of month-end, plus a strategic discussion to guide your decision-making.
Cash flow optimisation ensures you have sufficient working capital for operations while maximising growth opportunities. We analyse your cash conversion cycle, payment terms, inventory management, and seasonal patterns to improve cash flow timing and availability.
Our cash flow optimisation includes 13-week rolling forecasts, payment term negotiations with suppliers and customers, inventory optimisation strategies, and growth funding planning. Most clients improve their cash flow by 20-40% within 6 months, providing capital for expansion, equipment purchases, and strategic investments without external funding.
Strategic planning support includes market analysis, competitive positioning, growth strategy development, scenario planning, and implementation roadmaps. We help translate your vision into actionable financial plans with measurable goals and KPIs.
Our strategic planning process includes quarterly strategy sessions, annual business planning, market opportunity analysis, resource allocation planning, and performance monitoring systems. We facilitate strategic workshops, develop 3-5 year financial models, and provide ongoing guidance to ensure you achieve your growth objectives while managing risks effectively.
Financial systems and controls implementation includes accounting software optimisation, internal control procedures, approval workflows, segregation of duties, and financial reporting automation. We ensure your financial infrastructure can support business growth while maintaining accuracy and compliance.
Our systems implementation covers chart of accounts restructuring, automated reporting dashboards, budget and forecasting systems, expense management procedures, and audit trail documentation. We also provide staff training and ongoing system optimisation to ensure your team can maintain these systems effectively as your business scales.
7. What's included in growth strategy development for Australian businesses?
Growth strategy development includes market expansion analysis, product/service diversification opportunities, acquisition strategies, funding requirements planning, and scalability assessments. We help identify the most profitable growth pathways while managing associated risks and resource requirements.
Our growth strategy services cover market research and analysis, competitor benchmarking, revenue model optimisation, expansion feasibility studies, funding strategy development, and implementation planning. We’ve helped clients achieve 50-200% revenue growth through strategic market expansion, product development, and operational scaling initiatives.
Risk assessment identifies potential threats including financial risks, operational risks, market risks, and compliance risks. We develop comprehensive risk management frameworks with mitigation strategies, contingency planning, and monitoring systems to protect business continuity and profitability.
Our risk management process includes financial stress testing, scenario planning, insurance needs analysis, compliance risk assessment, and crisis management planning. We help you prepare for economic downturns, industry disruptions, and unexpected challenges while maintaining growth momentum and protecting stakeholder interests.
Investment and capital planning includes capital expenditure analysis, ROI calculations, funding strategy development, investor preparation, and capital structure optimisation. We help you make informed decisions about major investments, expansions, and funding requirements.
Our capital planning services cover equipment and technology investment analysis, expansion funding strategies, working capital optimisation, debt vs equity considerations, and investor pitch preparation. We’ve helped clients secure millions in funding through strategic planning, financial modeling, and investor-ready business cases.
Tax and structure advisory ensures your business structure supports your growth objectives while minimising tax obligations. We analyse entity structures, tax planning strategies, succession planning, and asset protection to optimise your overall financial position.
Our integrated approach includes business structure reviews, tax-efficient growth strategies, dividend and distribution planning, succession planning, and family trust considerations. This holistic approach ensures your Virtual CFO strategy aligns with your tax obligations and long-term wealth creation goals.
We specialise in Virtual CFO services for NDIS providers and aged care, construction and trades, hospitality and restaurants, plus charities and Aboriginal corporations. Each industry has unique financial challenges, funding models, and growth opportunities that require sexpertise.
Our industry specialisation includes understanding sector-specific KPIs, regulatory requirements, funding mechanisms, and growth patterns. For NDIS providers, we focus on participant funding optimisation and compliance. Construction clients benefit from project profitability analysis and cash flow management. Our deep industry knowledge ensures relevant, actionable strategic advice.
Most clients see initial improvements within 30-60 days through enhanced financial visibility and cash flow management. Significant strategic benefits typically emerge within 3-6 months as systems, processes, and strategic initiatives take effect.
Our implementation timeline includes immediate cash flow analysis and optimisation (weeks 1-4), financial systems and reporting setup (weeks 2-8), strategic planning and goal setting (weeks 4-12), and ongoing monthly optimisation and growth initiatives. The combination of quick wins and long-term strategic improvements ensures both immediate value and sustained business growth.
