Due to the company's growth, the demands on the Finance Organization and are not (yet) fulfilled by the financial manager and external consultants?

So you need an experienced financial expert at your side who acts as a sparring partner at eye level and also understands the operational business.

Do you want to...

do not make commercial decisions alone and based on gut feeling, but an experienced financial professional at your side!
future-proof and successful. With a driver and motivator that strategically pursues all financial aspects in order to achieve the set corporate goals!
Provide your finance managers with external support for exchange and sparring
do not only rely on your tax advisor or the bank when it comes to your decisions as managing directors or shareholders, because you want more individual support!
a strategy sparring to get initial feedback before communicating the alignment to the next management level!

This is exactly where the use of a virtual CFO makes sense.

A virtual CFO is always there to help you when you need them. Whether strategic decision or emergency.

"Virtual" here means personal contact despite physical distance. Whether it's regular exchange via video conferencing or personal presence at meetings where personal contact is indispensable. Both are possible. You determine the amount of support you need each month and thus have a predictable size.

Use cases

We have successfully implemented the following projects as virtual CFO:

Support in the Advisory Board | Advisory council

A technology company has achieved strong growth over the last few years and has the challenge of consolidating this growth in the long term and making it independent of the shareholder-managing director.

The Advisory Board brings external expertise into the company to avoid mistakes and provide new impetus.

We support you with all CFO-related questions:

Start-ups and investment purchases
Organizational measures to manage growth
Recommendation of further candidates for the board with corresponding necessary "skill sets."

Support in the merger and acquisition strategy

An IT service provider has enormous growth targets, which are to be realized not only through organic growth, but also through inorganic growth.

As a virtual CFO, we support the company in the following M&A issues and activities:

Conducting due diligence
Securing bank financing
Purchase price negotiations
Identification of synergies and cost saving potential
Post-Merger Integration

Preparation and support of the company sale

An IT consulting company is planning the (partial) sale of the company.
In the course of this, we provide support with various issues with the aim of increasing the value of the company until EXIT

Identification of liability and valuation risks and elimination before the sale
Unbundling of private and operational matters
Correct presentation of operating assets and opportunities to increase the value of the company
Preparation of the data room for the due diligence reviews
Participation and active role in sales price negotiations

Strategic realignment of Finance
