What’s included in our Growth CFO Services?
Lescault & Walderman provides fixed-fee Growth CFO Services that include:
- Access to industry data through proprietary software
- Customized reporting using Microsoft Power BI
- Specialized C-level financial expertise
- Access to reporting via web and mobile apps
- Utilization of proprietary software for budgeting and analytics
Our growth CFO services are offered as a complete financial management solution. We begin all engagements with a detailed evaluation. This involves evaluating all accounting policies, procedures and systems, performing due diligence and assessing business processes to determine current effectiveness and provide guidance on improvements.
After the evaluation is complete, we move on to establishing ideal reporting and budgeting procedures to support our findings during the evaluation phase. This involves defining and designing appropriate reports and creating and implementing an effective budget.
Finally, we perform industry benchmarking, analyze price points and develop financial models to identify realistic targets. This includes identifying leverage points and KPIs and developing the strategies and tools to address performance gaps (we also offer assistance with raising capital and turnaround services as applicable).
While serving as your part-time CFO, LWI personnel assist in maintaining accurate and reliable accounting processes and systems, providing useful reports and bridging the gap between past and future financial operations.
