Part Time Long Term CFO Vs. Other Interim Providers

May 15, 2010

As market acceptance of the concept of a CFO who is not full time has taken hold, the question of how B2B CFO® differs from other interim solutions such as Tatum or similar type firms often arises when speaking with prospective clients along with other referral sources including bankers, attorneys, and CPA’s.


One of my partners puts it brilliantly that at B2B CFO
®  we are a “long-term, part-time” solution contrasted with other interim solutions like Tatum who are a “short-term, full time solution”.

However, that is merely the beginning.   There are numerous differences in how we approach the client relationship, how we interact with clients, and the service approach taken with clients.  There is a distinct and valuable difference between hiring a B2B CFO® versus other interim solutions.  Please find a listing of some of the primary differences below:

1.    Handshake agreement with a B2B CFO® partner  vs. Signed Contracts with others.

2.    Long term, Part time solution with a B2B CFO® partner  vs. Short term, Full time at Tatum and others.

3.    Successful Exit Strategies and Execution with a B2B CFO® partner vs. Project based focus at Tatum and others.

4.    No hidden fees at B2B CFO®  vs. several termination fees or transition fees with other firms such as Tatum.

5.    National Partnership Resources and Collaboration at B2B CFO®  vs. Employee Based at Tatum and local firms.

6.    Seasoned Partners at B2B CFO®  vs. use of Staff level employees at others.

7.    Emerging to Middle market focus at B2B CFO®  vs. Large entity focus at firms such as Tatum

8.    Cash Generation Approach at B2B CFO®  vs. Financial and Technology Services at other firms.

B2B CFO® partners are building a long-term practice of local clients within a national presence and it is our goal to provide exceptional service to satisfied clients with honesty, integrity and objectivity as opposed to being a temporary solution or project based consultants.
 

At B2B CFO® we concern ourselves with the client’s success and aspire for them to attain their goals and dreams.

Cash.  We help you get it.
