Have you heard the joke about the interesting accountant? No. Me neither.

What is a virtual CFO?

The Virtual CFO is a new concept. It's a way for small businesses to get CFO support that they wouldn't have been able to afford previously.

Small businesses that hire a Virtual CFO get access to an experienced financial professional at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO. 

Advantages for small businesses

Having access to a Virtual CFO can be a big benefit for a small business. Most small businesses can't afford an experienced, knowledgeable CFO on a full-time basis and may never consider hiring one.

That's a problem because many small businesses fail within the first three years. Reasons include failure to set themselves apart from the competition, and an inability to find a profitable business model. With an accounting professional acting as their Virtual CFO, they could keep their financial goals and realities clearly in sight.

A Virtual CFO is an affordable alternative to hiring a full-time CFO and can make a big difference to a small business, by:

• Creating budgets and forecasts.
• Pinpointing problem spending by highlighting trends in the market.
• Validating or discouraging business decisions with financial well-being in mind.

These are abilities that the vast majority of business owners don't possess – but they often need them in order to succeed.

Full-Charge

In Denver, a Full Charge Bookkeeper can make $49,856 in annual salary, that does not include benefits or payroll taxes so add at least another 20% for that. Many Small Business Owners do not need a full-charge full-time bookkeeper on staff. Many SMB's who hire a full-charge bookkeeper on staff usually end up having them do lower-level administrative functions for the business. If you need an administrative assistant hire one, and outsource your financial concerns to a qualified CPA professional.
