A virtual CFO provides part-time finance leadership to a business that does not yet need a full-time Chief Financial Officer. The work usually covers monthly MIS, cash flow forecasting, budgeting, compliance oversight and support with banks and investors.
The value comes from regular review: comparing actual results with the budget each month, spotting cash shortfalls early, and making sure accounting and tax compliance run on time.
Key points
- Monthly MIS and variance analysis
- Cash flow forecasts and working capital planning
- Budgets and pricing reviews
- Coordination of tax, GST and ROC compliance
- Support in discussions with banks and investors
