    Is it time to Onboard an Interim CFO?

    If you can relate to a few of the statements below, you would greatly benefit from having one of our interim CFOs by your side.

    no 1

    IT’S LONELY AT THE TOP: You lack an experienced business partner and “consiglieri” at your elbow who is objective, strategic and fact-based, yet passionate about growing the value of your company. There is a substantial gap in business experience and acumen between you and other members of your team

    no 2

    THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY: You have no time to deal with important financial or operating tasks, which keep on being postponed or falling through the cracks…or worse still, such financial and operating tasks continuously crowd out your pivotal duties related to customer acquisition and products

    no 3

    NO STRATEGY, INSIGHTS & ANALYSIS FROM FINANCE: Your finance function is limited to producing the monthly P&L and Balance Sheet. It provides no: strategic input, detailed profitability analysis of your products/services, a rolling cash flow forecast, benchmarking, Key Performance Indicators, etc. You feel like you are flying the proverbial airplane with no instrument panel

    no 4

    CASH FLOW AND PROFITABILITY “SURPRISES”: Your business is experiencing profitability or cash flow problems, is missing bank covenants or is underperforming the budget – and you are often surprised by it

    no 5

    $20 MM COMPANY STUCK IN THE BODY OF A $4 MM BUSINESS: Your business is growing fast and requires more robust finance and operating functions to deal with the challenges and opportunities that come with such rapid growth. Increasingly, you feel like your company’s accelerated expansion is being restricted or held back by its own lack of infrastructure

    no 6

    SHORT-SIGHTED: You don’t have a long-term view of your business, including: (i) a 3 to 5-year strategic plan and financial forecast and (ii) a sense of the business value, currently and in the future

    no 7

    DEAL MAKING: You are looking to raise capital to fund growth or acquisition opportunities and reach your ambitious goals. Or you plan to sell in the short to medium-term and have not prepared your company for it

    What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

    Look no further than Venture Growth Partners. Having an opportunity to meet and discuss the needs of our business with Mario was the first step among many where Venture Growth Partners proved their worth. They helped guide and support us in ways we could develop goals, metrics, and strategies that would elevate our skills by placing one of their tenured consultants with us. We were not exactly sure what we needed but Mario was able to decipher from just two meetings what we thought we needed. We discussed some of our pain points, and the direction we were headed (and fast) and where we felt there were gaps in our infrastructure. Mario introduced us to a short list of extremely qualified candidates quickly. Working in a very specific industry it was paramount we find someone already up to speed on industry knowledge. Without trouble he was able to suggest precisely the person to fill this role, already armed with the right skills to become an essential part of our business. Now, we can’t imagine what or where we would be without Venture Growth Partners.

    I had the pleasure of working with Mike Wilson at Ascend Learning. He is one of the brightest, most strategic, and hard-driving finance leaders I have worked with. Mike’s unique combination of finance and operating experience makes him an ideal strategic partner. I have collaborated with Mike on both organic growth initiatives, as well as M&A, and came to rely on him as one of my most trusted colleagues.

    General Manager, Executive Vice President, Academy and Product at American Safety Council

    I enjoyed working alongside Mark Anderson for ten years; Mark has all the hallmarks of a successful CFO. Mark has the knowledge to strategize and solve problems and sense of an analytic mind, is highly confident with processes and numbers. Mark demonstrated strong leadership with exemplary communication and organizational skills during our years together. Mark’s position required someone who performed effective risk management, planned the organization’s financial strategies, cash-flow projections, handled all of our Real-Estate holdings, multi-location revenue and expenses budgeting, tax planning, and generally, he was well-versed in all phases of financial management varying from simple accounting calculations to broad investment and banking transactions, responsibilities he handled with ease.There is no more significant decision than to find the right CFO; they are the CEO’s primary go-to person, a trusted confidant; I would highly recommend Mark as part of any company’s team.
