What does a CFO do?

Financial Accounting & Bookkeeping:

Fair and correct financial accounting and record-keeping is essential for transparency and decision-making for any business. We prepare detailed financial reports like Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, P&L account and its monthly/quarterly comparative reports, analyse cash flow statements, reconcile bank statements, accounts receivables, payables, prepaids, Forex, GST, TDS, PF, ESI, PT and other statutory compliance requirements.

Management Reporting (MIS) & Strategic Advisory:

Virtual CFOs handle more than just numbers and figures. Our centralised reports offer valuable insights to our clients on their business’ financial performance, help identify key trends and enable us to give strategic advice for their overall financial as well as non-financial success.

Financial Budgeting & Forecasting:

We help clients build a clear road map to plan and allocate their budgets – right from setting their financial goals, analysing the variances between budgeted financials and actual financials figures, to tracking the progress. We help businesses check their long-term stability and profitability; evaluate, advise and assist the Management in making sound financial decisions.

KPI Development and Monitoring: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are essential for tracking and monitoring any business performance. We help identify these metrics such as revenue growth, customer retention ratio, efficient cost management, etc., and monitor them regularly to ensure smooth flow of business operations.

Cash Flow Management:

We assist businesses in planning their working capital for their day-to-day operations (for eg: making tax payments on time, and creditors' payments within a specified time range) and ensure that the planning is done for any unforeseen expenditure.

Risk Management and Mitigation:

We work in close collaboration with our clients to help them understand the potential financial risks and then we come up with risk mitigation strategies which may prevent these financial losses – ensuring their financial well-being. Long-term sustainability: Our team ensures that businesses are financially independent over a long period of time by keeping a bird eye view on all financial transactions, managing financial resources and upholding businesses in case of any uncertain financial vulnerabilities.
