What it is
The chief financial officer (CFO) is an executive corporate officer responsible, among others, for managing an organization’s financial risks, mapping the operations and business results with financial KPIs, and identifying and reporting on actions needed to help the business survive and thrive.
Handling financial matters can be a handful for business owners, and with the inflation and economic downfalls, hiring a full-time CFO might be too much.
This is where part-time CFO support comes in handy. By hiring a skilled CFO with experience in the field, you extend your business’ capabilities and mitigate risks.
