Business owners have plenty of plates to spin at one time, from managing innovation and growth potential to the legal, financial and compliance aspects of running a company.
It is a lot to manage and if you don’t have the capacity to do it yourself or hire the staff to do it, a Virtual Finance Director (VFD) could be the perfect solution.
VFDs are invaluable tools that can take that burden away and let you focus on other areas of your business.
What is the purpose of a VFD?
A VFD is an experienced finance professional who can work with your business in a flexible manner, providing you with valuable insight into your company’s finances without being an in-house full-time staff member.
They will deliver tailored advice that suits the needs of your business and help you make important decisions on the financial aspects of your business, including your growth plans and managing ongoing costs.
VFDs are valuable, independent financial experts who take control of your business’s finances, ensuring you have more efficient and effective measures in place.
What are the advantages of hiring a VFD?
Hiring a VFD allows you access to an experienced finance professional at a significantly lower cost than hiring a full-time finance member.
They bring extensive experience, attention to detail and valuable insight into finance complexities that can help you understand your company’s finances better, allowing you to make better decisions.
VFDs can help you improve your company’s cash flow by implementing strategies that help you accommodate any challenges like seasonal changes, market impact and investment stagnation.
In addition to this, VFDs are adaptable to your business needs and can scale effectively. As your company grows, a VFD can scale its financial management capabilities to include additional strategic support and reporting for investment opportunities.
They give you the figures and forecasts you need to present to investors, giving you their reasoning and recommendations. The honest and transparent input from the VFD enhances your company’s credibility and appeals to investors.
It also helps to have someone like a VFD who has no ties to your company to provide an independent view of your finances.
They can question, challenge and offer an impartial viewpoint on any potential finance changes and plans you are considering, making you accountable.
This can help you take a reflective approach, consider what has been said and make decisions from there.
