It’s Not Us, It’s You: Breaking up with your Outsourced CFO

One of the most common myths about outsourced CFO services is that once you commit, breaking up is hard to do, not to mention expensive and complicated. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth.

To be clear, we don’t enjoy parting ways with clients. But the essence of the fractional business model is flexibility. That means that clients will come and go (and maybe even boomerang back when future challenges arise). That isn’t a weakness of the model, that’s exactly how it should work.  

We pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with clients by delivering exceptional services that meet their evolving needs. That includes being easy to work with across all stages of a relationship, including the end.

You’re in the Driver’s Seat

One of the biggest benefits to outsourced CFO services is flexibility.  Need more help during an audit? We can scale with you. Need to reduce or redirect support as your internal team grows? We’ve got experts who can help. With outsourced financial services you are in the driver’s seat, all you must do is initiate the conversation.

Key ways outsourced CFO relationships deliver flexibility:

• Everything your outsourced CFO team creates for you belongs to your firm.  If you engage an outsourced CFO to create policies and procedures for a new firm, those are yours to use in perpetuity.
• The relationship is contract-based, and the amount of time is determined by your project or goal. You can engage on a part-time, project or interim basis, and you are never locked-in permanently.
• Outsourced CFOs are seasoned professionals who can quickly integrate without a lengthy ramp-up period. Likewise, the transition at the end of a contract is carefully managed to set you up for success.
• Outsourced CFOs operate remotely, allowing access to top-tier talent regardless of location.

Whether you need an extra set of hands on a complex project or a seasoned leader to institutionalize your business as you seek to raise assets, outsourced CFO services deliver value without baggage. They offer flexibility, convenience and are focused on your evolving needs—even if that includes a breakup.
