Our Business
Are you spending too much time on the financial side of your business when you should be in the driver’s seat? Need an accountant or a chief financial officer (CFO)?
You are not alone. Most business owners and company managers are confronted with the onerous challenge of managing their finances whilst they steer their ship. For whatever reason, this may not be your comfort zone – due to a lack of financial knowledge; dealing with your numbers is not what you enjoy; the paperwork keeps piling up or; you never seem to have enough hands on deck to keep on top of your financial management.
We provide you with a flexible and affordable solution tailored to meet your critical business needs without the expense of hiring a professional on a full time basis. Your business will have access to a virtual or onsite CFO at your disposal, allowing you to benefit from their expertise. Whether you wish to streamline your business, boost performance, minimise risk, increase sales or prepare for growth, your CFO will provide you with sound advice and execution. You can then get on with what you are really passionate about – spreading the word about your business!
Let MobileCFO be your helping hand who you can count on. Your business goals will become much clearer and your bottom line results will love wearing black!

Business Solutions
Survival – Stay Liquid
Cash is king in any business in order for it to survive. It requires careful attention and effective management. A business owner or manager therefore needs to stay on their toes to prevent a cash crisis. Your virtual CFO can take care of your cash flow management so you can focus on making cash.
Do you know how much accessible cash you have available? Do you know how much you will need to survive?
We examine your current cash position from head to toe, identify areas requiring attention and create strategies that will smooth out the bumps, refocus your cash priorities and provide you with comfort that you are now operating within your working capital means. With a structured cash flow plan in place, your CFO will ensure your business maintains the discipline required week by week to keep on track whilst ensuring there is scope for flexibility and scalability to tackle your next challenge. You will have piece of mind that you can pay your bills when they fall due and eliminate the financial worry that keeps you awake at night.
Continuity – Sound Management
Your virtual CFO wears many hats and provides overall management of your administration, finance & accounting, production, inventory, human resources and facilities.
We are business savvy and our financial expertise adds strength to your business and contract negotiations. Whilst your external accountants and advisors complete your statutory compliance obligations, your virtual CFO’s involvement is an integral part of your business that shares your vision and provides you with a steady hand in execution. This will minimise the risk of your business failing and improve your likelihood of success and increased value of your business. You will continually be educated through your CFO’s mentoring and business coaching and receive reliable and accurate financial information to make the best possible decisions for your business.
Growth – Maximise Your Potential
Need more funding to grow? Unsure of your potential?
Your virtual CFO is your key negotiator when accessing new capital with financiers, bankers and potential investors and they will always ensure you are always getting the best deal. Your virtual CFO will build and present a solid business case that will make you look sharp and impress the socks off your lenders and give them the confidence that your business has the know-how and capability to deliver results. Based on their vast commercial experience, your virtual CFO is your right hand person in marketing your business. They provide you with the options and possible solutions – you make the right decisions!
Growing too fast and spiraling out of control?
Growth is always a healthy indicator that you are on the right track but sometimes we don’t realize our true potential or unaware of missed opportunity. Fast growth can leave you under-prepared and make decision making reactive rather proactive with a sound basis. Band-aids and quick fixes can prove more costly in the long run so time and upfront investment can often lay down the foundations for a healthy future. Your CFO can groom your business so it is ready for growth. We are committed to helping your business maximise its profits and realise your business dreams faster.
Bottom Line
The presence of a highly skilled CFO (virtual or onsite) enables small-medium businesses to benefit in a number of ways. Bottom line – you win on so many levels!
Your CFO is more than a number cruncher, they partner with your business on so many strategic levels. You save money by using your CFO as required rather than paying someone full-time; you gain flexibility by moderating the level of service from your CFO when you need to; you get more bang for your buck by having access to more experience and skill than an in-house bookkeeper or accountant; you gain an independent perspective without the office politics; you have a rational mediator who will tell you what it is without bias or self interest; you get quick solutions based on experienced problem solving; you minimize your risk by not employing full-time staff; you get fresh ideas from your CFO’s diverse client and industry experience. Once translated, you have a healthy bottom line!
