CFO Consult SA – Outsourced Financial Management

Outsourced Financial Management

Turning Accounting into Business Intelligence

OUR PHILOSOPHY

CFO Consult is a specialist accounting and financial management firm serving small and medium sized businesses.

We believe that small and medium companies need to get more value from their accounting function, while reducing the cost. Cloud accounting technology is rapidly changing the accounting industry by automating the repetitive tasks that an accountant or bookkeeper used to perform.
We believe that technology should be used for the benefit of our clients, saving them money and transforming their accounting & finance function from a reactive to a proactive part of their business.
We believe in an agile finance function. The accounting and financial management function of your business should be flexible and customisable to the needs of your business at any point in time.

We believe in the value of turning accounting data into business intelligence. Accounting data is useless to business owners if it’s not intelligently packaged and presented. We use advanced business intelligence software to build custom reports and management dashboards to enable our clients to make better and faster decisions. Data is the new global currency and turning data into intelligence is the key to a successful business.
We believe that especially start-ups and small companies need the insights that a professional Chief Financial Officer can bring to the table. We offer access to a dedicated CFO and an experienced finance team to unlock the value of high-level financial management in our client’s businesses.
