Do you really need another spreadsheet?
As your organisation grows, the complexities of the CEO role expand. Strategic direction, ensuring people and culture are developing, reporting, and meeting governance requirements, managing stakeholder and funding relationships, and overseeing service delivery and KPIs can quickly fill up a day, a week, or a month.
As CEO, you’re already staring at a library of spreadsheets, and the financial functions add an additional, time-consuming layer of responsibility.
A CFO’s primary function is to help leadership understand what the numbers mean and what they should do next. It ensures leaders have accurate and accessible information to answer questions. Can we afford to grow? What happens if funding changes? Which programs are financially sustainable? How much cash should we hold? Where are the risks? Are our goals achievable? When your organisation is experiencing growth, engaging a CFO is both a strategic and a necessary decision.
At Accounting For Good, we know that for many charities and NFPs, employing a full-time CFO isn’t necessary or financially viable, and that’s where our outsourced CFO model suits many organisations across the sector.
Our outsourced CFOs are highly experienced within the sector. We work alongside CEOs, leadership teams, and boards, providing the financial insight needed to make informed, strategically aligned decisions.
Best of all, we are only a phone call away, without occupying valuable office space or incurring the cost of a senior accounting specialist. When the time comes, reach out for a detailed proposal on how we can help you, because a CEO shouldn’t always have to be the CFO too.
