EVERY COMPANY, REGARDLESS OF ITS SIZE, NEEDS A CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Posted by: Larry J. Strauss in Articles

Large companies employ top executives in sales, operations and finance.  They provide the strategies and management expertise required to bring in customers, competitively produce the firm's products or services and provide the financial management and planning required to maximize the firm's profitability and growth.

Small and mid-market companies also employ top sales and operations executives, but not financial executives.  The majority have bookkeepers or controllers who process financial transactions and generate financial reports. But, they cannot provide the financial strategies or offer the level of financial sophistication, problem solving, and strategic financial management these companies need to maximize profitability and growth.

Companies without a CFO are at a disadvantage.  Many small and mid-market firms have sophisticated operations and complex cost and financial challenges like large companies.  They need the expertise of a senior financial executive… but not full time. Nor can they afford the cost of a full time CFO.  These firms often seek financial advice from their CPA firms who provide tax, reporting, and general financial guidance but do not have the corporate experience and specialized skills that CFOs excel in.

B2B CFO® provides CFO services on an affordable, part time or as needed basis and is the largest CFO firm in the U.S. focusing on small and mid-market companies.  With over 145 partners in 39 states, B2B CFO® provides small and mid-market companies with the financial management they need to prosper.
