Everybody needs a CFO in their lives - what is it and why? 🤔 What is a CFO? A CFO is a chief financial officer. Their key roles are: ↗️ providing financial direction and accountability 🖇 linking the operational levers to the financial levers of the business so the impact of moving each is known and anticipated before actions are taken 🫣 the soundboard for creative ideas to bring the necessary financial and often non-financial resources together to map things out This is just 3 of the key roles and is why we love it at Tennick Accountants where we are asked to fulfil this role such as with R.E.P.R.E.S.E.N.T and even more fun when we are asked to be a co-founder. 😐 Why does everybody need this? Every business owner to some extent should be offered and hopefully receive this as they need direction to help move their business forward. They need accountability and a sounding board for actions they are taking. Finally; and most importantly, they need the confidence in terms of struggle to see them through, to ensure they enjoy the journey and can exit their business WHEN they want, with WHAT they want, HOW they want.

Starting and operating a business can pose challenges. Frequently, businesses lack the necessary resources to employ a full-time Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This is where a fractional CFO can offer assistance: https://buff.ly/3MO7LXa

"I was so excited, Susan. The Founder of a company used LinkedIn to request a proposal from us to help them with their financial management. You know how I love being a fractional CFO. This was a dream come true. I read their market research to get a sense for what the company was going to be." Evan continued: "Even I, the numbers guy to beat all numbers guys, saw right away that the dots did not connect. The research was designed to prove the Founder's belief in a pre-determined target market, not to test that belief or find a viable target market. The numbers would never add up! The Founder did not want to hear this. I thanked them for reaching out to me, and declined to go any farther. What I realized yet again, Susan, is what we've talked about many times: the only clients we should work with are <<great fit>> clients. Turning this person down was so obviously the right thing to do, even though it stung for a few minutes." Evan is eager to help. He loves his fractional CFO company and how he and his associates deliver life changing differences to their clients. He also knows that when one door closes, another one will open sometime later. Do you take everyone, or do you take the care to find great fit clients? It's your life, use it wisely! Have a question about your fractional CFO company or other professional services firm?
