To understand the value of a Virtual CFO, it’s important to first understand what they do.
A Virtual CFO, or Virtual Chief Financial Officer, is an experienced financial professional or firm that provides financial services remotely to one or multiple businesses. As they provide these services on a part time or needs basis, they operate at a fraction of the cost of a full time financial officer. With an annual salary of $250,000 for full time CFOs, Virtual CFOs act as a means for small businesses to get support, insight and financial guidance that they would have otherwise been unable to afford.
The services of a Virtual CFO are perfect for small or medium sized businesses looking for financial guidance but cannot justify hiring a full time, in-house financial officer. Whether it be too expensive or there is an insufficient amount of work for a full time employee, a Virtual CFO can offer all the benefits and value of an in-house CFO at a more cost effective and productive rate. Services include everything from managing the financial wellbeing of the business to informing important business decisions with industry expertise, decades of experience and carefully curated financial insights.
Unlike compliance based services like accounting, Virtual CFO services strive to help a business achieve their key objectives and improve overall performance, especially in times of rapid growth. While some business owners may have been able to get by with rudimentary financial knowledge, as operations grow things only become more complicated. There’s no need to become overwhelmed and miss a crucial opportunity for business growth when you enlist the help of expert Virtual CFO services. Our team of impartial business professionals at PMCA will develop a tailored plan for your business, recommending targeted strategies without bias which are sure to help your business grow.
Virtual CFO services act as an investment into your business future. Our services facilitate transparent financial reporting which helps to promote profit and overall business growth. A Virtual CFO’s responsibilities and expertise covers a wide range of services from essential financial functions like forecasting and modelling, cash flow management and strategic planning, to specific project-based work including technology implementation and training.

You can rest assured knowing you are in safe hands with Philip’s decades of experience as a chartered accountant in a diverse range of sectors.PMCA Advisory is large enough to provide you specialist staff with dedicated knowledge in specific aspects of your business, yet small enough to allow Philip to be centrally involved in overseeing the entire service.
Unlike some larger firms, your account will always be managed by an expert, receiving the attention and service it deserves. We understand no two businesses or business owners are the same and make it our mission to develop a detailed understanding of your unique challenges and give you the most effective set of solutions for your business.
At PMCA Advisory, we actively engage with each client about their business. Philip draws upon his years of experience to ask probing questions that enable us to clarify how we can help you grow your business. More than simply providing tax compliance services and tax returns, we help business owners achieve their goals.
In addition to talking with Philip, each new PMCA Advisory client will undergo an hour-long interview with our Head of Business Diagnostics. In this session we will develop an understanding of you as the business owner, your business, your aspirations, and any of your concerns.
