Virtual CFO Services
Somewhere between $1m and $20m revenue, businesses outgrow tax-time-only accounting but can't justify a $250k CFO. A virtual CFO fills the gap: cashflow forecasting, margin analysis, board-ready reporting and a numbers person in the room for the big calls. Compare rated providers below.

Virtual CFO Services — FAQs
What does a virtual CFO do that my accountant doesn't?
Your accountant reports on the past — returns, compliance, lodgements. A virtual CFO works on the future: forecasting, pricing, funding decisions, and the monthly rhythm of reviewing numbers against plan. Some firms offer both under one roof.
How much time do they commit?
Typically a set day-per-week or days-per-month arrangement that scales with complexity — enough to own the forecast, run the monthly review and be available for decisions, without the full-time overhead.
When is a business ready for one?
Common triggers: cashflow surprises despite profit on paper, a lender or investor asking for forecasts you don't have, multiple entities, or growth decisions being made on gut feel. If any of those sound familiar, it's time for the conversation.
