  1. VIRTUAL CFO A virtual CFO or a virtual chief financial officer is an outsourced service offered by business advisory firms to small businesses or startups to help them make sound financial decisions. They help them with financial planning, financial reports and designing financial strategies. The difference between a traditional CFO and a virtual CFO is that a traditional CFO is a full-time executive position while a virtual CFO offers these services remotely or on a part-time consultation basis.

  2. ADVANTAGES • A virtual CFO is able to guide the startups better by educating them about the incentive schemes and tax benefits available that may be beneficial to their business. The virtual CFO will be able to assess financial reports and provide accurate feedback to the CEO. They can manage the fund flow and raise early red flags in case of potential concerns. Some of the advantages of hiring a Virtual CFO include –

  3. REDUCTION IN COST • A virtual CFO works out cheaper for startups in their initial stage as they do not have the budget or requirement to hire a full-time CFO. A virtual CFO can offer the specific services they need at a fraction of the cost.

  4. FLEXIBILITY • You have the flexibility to hire the virtual CFO for a few hours each week or get a few specific services outsourced. You pay only for what you use and you can scale up or down based on your business needs.

  5. FINANCIAL FORECASTS AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCES • The virtual CFO will provide you with financial forecasts and budgets on one hand and manage regulatory compliances on the other. This will ensure that your business functions smoothly.

  6. BUDGETARY CONTROL • The virtual CFO can provide you with detailed budget analysis and help you to manage your expenses.

  7. LIAISON WITH EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS • A virtual CFO can be your liaison point with external stakeholders. Their Due Diligence Reports on the accuracy of financial statements can be reassuring for investors.

  8. DIVERSE EXPERIENCE • Since virtual CFOs work with multiple companies at the same time, they have a wealth of experience and they can add value to your discussions and provide meaningful insight.

  9. NEED FOR VIRTUAL CFO IN THE WORLD OF STARTUPS • Having a financial roadmap is essential for any business. While established businesses have a full-time CFO, startups do not have the luxury in the early stages when they are more focused on developing their product/service and designing the business strategy. • Several startups consider financial planning as an activity only when the fundraising stage arises. They may not need a full-time CFO but they would need assistance from finance professionals. This has created a demand for virtual CFOs who can help startups on a flexible basis.
