Part-time CFO vs. Interim/Temporary CFO

Posted by: Grant Brisacher in Articles

 

I’m often asked by prospective clients, bankers, CPA’s, attorneys and other referral sources about the differences between a B2B CFO® and other temporary or interim solutions such as Tatum or similar type firms.


Usually I start out by simply stating that we (B2B CFO®) are a “long-term, part-time” solution where as Tatum or other interim solutions are a “short-term, full time solution”.  After that statement, I then start articulating how we differ in our service and client relations approach.   And believe me folks, there is a huge difference between a B2B CFO® Partner and other solution providers.  Below is a list of the primary differentiators between B2B CFO® and others.

1.    Part time (long term) at B2B CFO® vs. Interim/Temporary (short term) at Tatum and others.

2.    Handshake agreement with B2B CFO® vs. Signed Contracts with others.

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

4.    Small to Middle market focus at B2B CFO® vs. Big game hunters at other firms such as Tatum

5.    Cash Approach at B2B CFO® vs. some obscure terms such as Financial and Technology Services at other firms.

6.    Partner Collaboration Support at B2B CFO® vs. Employee Based at Tatum and other firms.


Finally, I like to convey to my prospective clients and referral sources that our Partners at B2B CFO® are building long-term practices similar to CPA firms and it is our goal to have a roster of satisfied clients as opposed to being a temporary solution or project based consultants.

At B2B CFO® we genuinely care about our client's success and we want each and every one of our clients to realize their dreams.
