by Jeff Semple | Do I need a CFO?

What would you like to see changed, improved or different in the next 12 months? As a business owner, it could be any one of a number of things.
Are inefficient processes costing you? Are you carrying too much inventory? Are you able to grow? Are your labor cost to high ? If market demand shifts, will you be able to quickly adjust? And through it all, can you count on sales to continue to grow? Can you maintain a positive cash flow? At what growth rate?
None of these questions are easy to answer but with the assistance of an experienced CFO, you will have the information that will help answer those questions, analyze the data and, in turn, make the right decisions for the future of your business.
A CFO can help you:
Establish a rolling 13-week cash flow projection and quarterly projection giving you valuable insight into the future cash needs of your business and how to prepare. A rolling projection can also help you identify future cash shortfalls while they’re still on the distant horizon — before the problem creates major issues.

Manage inventory. Do certain items move faster than others? Are the others gathering dust? Does your pricing strategy help drive internal cash flow? A CFO can help analyze your inventory profit potential while bringing a financial perspective with a long-term strategy. Where do you want your business to be in three, five or 10 years? How are you going to get there? What do you need to do differently? An experienced CFO can help ensure that your company has a solid foundation while coaching your leadership team to have an eye toward needed future financial resources to ensure you’ll have the available capital to achieve your vision.
