How Can Our Outsourced CFO Services Help Your SMB To Grow?

Fractional CFO Explained: Key Responsibilities and Expertise for Your Business
When should you hire a fractional CFO?
Most US, EU, UK and other businesses with over 20 employees are complex enough to have all their financials be fully controlled by one person, but as long as they don’t have around 100-200 employees, having an in-house CFO is just too expensive. Using part-time Finance Directors is an ideal solution for businesses like these.
Choosing the virtual CFO services (vCFO) by AG Capital CFO Services you pay for the expertise of an experienced finance professional only to the extent you really need. You won’t have to arrange a separate office for the person, won’t have to bother with vacation compensation or sick leave. You won’t have to think about how to replace the person. All these problems are our responsibility and the cost of solving these is already included in the tariff plan (which, by the way, is substantially lower than the cost of an in-house person).
Our experience shows that this service is ideal for companies with employees between 10 and 200. It would be difficult for us to recover our fees for smaller clients, while larger clients should probably hire a full-time CFO.
