Navigating yourself through the financial forest can be a daunting task. With an experienced guide at your side, you will keep moving forward and chart the best financial path.
S&Co’s focus is guiding closely held businesses and their owners. Our typical business client has a small accounting staff or none at all. It is also common for the proprietor and any accounting staff to become entrenched in the day-to-day operations and not have the time to take a high level view of the business strategy and plan for the future. Thats when you need a CFO on-call. Generally speaking, our CFO On-Call services fall into three phases: Initial Review, On-Going Support and Long-Term Planning.
INITIAL REVIEW
As part of our client intake process, S&Co performs an initial review of every new business client. One of the goals from this initial review is to ensure that accounting systems and procedures are in place to ensure accurate and timely financial reports and tax returns. The initial assessment includes:
-
A Review of Current Operations,
-
Understanding and Evaluating the Cash Flows of the Business,
-
Accounting Clean-up, and
-
Recommendations for improvement.
