What are Virtual CFO services?

Sometimes called “vCFO,” virtual Chief Financial Officer solutions are usually found alongside other financial services in Australia like bookkeeping, tax compliance, and cashflow management. A virtual CFO can be a single person or made up of a team of skilled professionals, and its main function is to help fulfill the various high-level financial requirements of a business.

What’s the difference between a Bookkeeper and a CFO?

Although both provide integral roles in your financial team, bookkeepers and Chief Financial Officers have different responsibilities.

A bookkeeper’s main concern relates to maintaining the transactions of your business in your books. An in-house employee or outsourced bookkeeping solutions provider handles the day-to-day recording of trading and operating data, making sure that the information is up-to-date and accurate.

Meanwhile, a CFO has a more encompassing role in the business’ financial state. They will be busy with both short- and long-term financial planning, cashflow management and strategising in order to help the business grow and succeed.

Moreover, a CFO is usually highly experienced and skilled enough to parse past financial performance data and use it to predict a business’ financial future. This allows them to prepare the company against risks and ensure government compliance.
