    Is it time to Onboard a Fractional CFO?

    If you can relate to a few of the statements below, you would greatly benefit from having one of our fractional 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.

    CEO at Electronic Fluorocarbons LLC

    I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with and knowing James (Christodoulou) for almost 20 years, and thanks to his drive, passion, knowledge and common-sense approach to doing business, he’s always been a great teammate. Based on his diverse experience and his ability to drive results, he makes the perfect CFO who is able to handle everything from the day-to-day financial affairs to high level strategic thinking. His inside and deep knowledge of the financial markets will be a huge asset to those looking for a multifaceted CFO, especially if the company is in the early stages of raising debt and/or equity. James is a very hard worker who takes his job incredibly serious, but not himself, this is why everyone loves working with him.

    Jonathan Whitworth
    Former CEO of Seaspan (retired) and Board Member on three corporate boards

    We grew a business together, sold it and then managed the transition to new ownership. As CFO Trudy created a first-division finance function, and was instrumental in prepping us for a successful sale to private equity. Trudy was a huge part of our success but also the heart of the company – the person I was most likely to ask when faced with hard choices: “Is this something we should do, and how we should do it?” I trust her completely, and respect her immensely.
