Virtual cfo Services

Your small business deserves strategic financial leadership, and now you can access it without hiring or becoming a full-time CFO. If you’re a business owner or manager at a small or mid-sized company, or even a busy entrepreneur becoming overwhelmed by the financial side of your business, you may be able to benefit by making the decision to hire a virtual CFO.

Let’s face it. You probably didn’t start your business career dreaming about cash flow projections, revenue models, and budget meetings. You got into this field so that you could make a difference by providing exceptional products or services to your customers. Yet without a clear and strategic financial roadmap to follow, your business risks losing profits, poor cashflow management, financial stagnation, or getting caught in fiscal patterns that are reactive rather than proactive.

Just Counting Beans is proud to offer highly qualified virtual CFO services. Our industry-leading virtual CFO services are one of the most powerful and cost-effective elements of our comprehensive virtual financial solutions for businesses and companies of all types. We give you and your team access to high-level financial strategies and advice without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Think of it as having a fractional CFO who is able to steer your business in the right direction, but at a much lower price than hiring an expert full-time. Our prices are also extremely competitive for the market, as we use a blended rate that includes total accounting management over all financial transactions and reporting; whereas, the pricing you will find with most fractional CFO services is ONLY for that aspect and not the underlying transactions.

How Small Businesses Benefit from Virtual Financial Leadership

A small business may find itself struggling to manage the financial side of its operations. Entrepreneurs are some of the most dedicated and innovative professionals in our society, but that doesn’t automatically make them financial geniuses or masters of business administration. Not to mention the lack of time every entrepreneur encounters.

Cash flow anxieties, vague budgets, and high-stakes decisions made without proper analysis can plague small business operators. Our Just Counting Beans team can assist if you and your business are dealing with any of the following issues:

• Tracking your revenue feels more like guesswork than measuring a reliable income stream.
• You want to streamline your business model, but are unclear on which aspects of your operations have the highest and lowest profit margins.
• Forecasting future cash flow and allotting funds for necessary spending always feels like a reaction to your current situation instead of a productive piece of a long-term vision.
• Hours that could be spent serving customers are being used worrying over financial decisions that you don’t feel confident about or well-equipped to make.

Just Counting Beans’ game-changing fractional CFO service allows you to seamlessly bring on a complete accounting solution from top to bottom who understands your brand and mission on a flexible, flat-fee basis. This cost-effective model neatly side-steps many of the entanglements and costs associated with a traditional, direct hire, executive-level employee, while delivering excellent outcomes.

You get a serious, dedicated, top-level financial executive without any of the internal politics that can sometimes plague the C-suite.

What Do Just Counting Beans’ Fractional CFO Services Include?

When implemented effectively, our virtual CFO services won’t feel external at all. Our goal is to integrate effortlessly with our clients’ existing teams and internal workflows.

Our fractional financial officers offer comprehensive financial services for small businesses, tailored to fit your company’s unique and exacting needs. These services typically include:

Smart and Responsive Budgeting – We help small businesses build realistic, productive budgets that optimize current cash flow and safeguard future operations. Without a solid budget to keep your business financially healthy, you may be undermining everything else your company is achieving on a day-to-day basis.

Real Financial Forecasting – Our long-term projections emphasize data and are meant to inform you and protect your business’s long-term health. We evaluate long-term financial projections and approve forecasts supported by data and market conditions.

Cash Flow Management – When your business’s next unpleasant and unplanned expense pops up, financial preparedness can mean the difference between a minor annoyance and a disaster from which you can never financially recover. We can monitor receivables, analyze your billing practices and outcomes, and help prevent shortfalls before they occur.

Detailed Profitability Analysis – In today’s highly competitive markets, it’s not enough to just know how much money you’re making. You need to know which of your products, services, or individual team members are giving you the highest return or costing you more in resources. Your Just Counting Beans CFO can use data from your books to ensure such oversights are eliminated, streamlining your business model and revenue.

Investor-Ready Reports – We focus on growth-based business strategies for small businesses, so we understand that these strategies often involve working with outside financial partners or seeking credit lines. Our CFO services include high-end reporting that helps you communicate with banks and financiers so that everyone involved in your next big project understands your long-term vision and financial projections.
