Optimal CFO Solutions, LLC offers CFO for Hire services to small and medium size companies. The services are delivered by its founder, Dale Mahaffy, taking on one of many possible roles, including part time CFO, project CFO, interim CFO, or financial consultant.
If you have an accounting manager or controller on staff this does not mean you don't need the services of a CFO. An experienced CFO takes a more strategic and forward looking approach that can help you optimize the performance of your business. While your current accounting staff may do a good job of preparing financial statements, the CFO's role is to look beyond the numbers and evaluate and explain the impacts on your business and its future. You may not need this capability all the time, but it is nice to have it available when you need it.
Just as a CFO can complement your current staff, he or she can also compliment your CPA or accounting firm. CPAs focus on auditing the numbers, while CFOs are well versed in analyzing the numbers and how they affect your business results.
