As an owner of a private and closely-held company, you are constantly faced with financial challenges: optimizing cash availability to fund day-to-day operations and organic growth opportunities; employing the necessary financial expertise and intelligence for rational decision making to maximize profitability; effective and credible reporting for review of financial performance by you, your lenders, and outside investors; designing and utilizing meaningful management reports; etc. To address this need, GaP provides Chief Financial Officer personnel (Fractional CFOs) on a consulting, interim, or part-time basis. GaP Fractional CFOs are highly skilled, experienced, qualified, affordable, and equipped with the tools and processes necessary to address the myriad of financial and accounting challenges you face.
The professionals at GaP recognize that each business is unique, and blessed or burdened with its own specific opportunities, strengths, weaknesses, and circumstances. Before proposing a Fractional CFO engagement, we take the time to meet with you and listen as you describe your goals, challenges, and desired areas for immediate, intermediate, and long-term improvement of your business. Once we’ve reviewed pertinent data and received answers to our questions, we then propose an engagement – interim or part-time – that we feel will enable your accounting and finance function to effectively contribute to reaching your business objectives in the quickest and most effective manner.
Immediately upon reaching an agreement, your GaP Fractional CFO will collaborate with your team to effectively and efficiently execute the proposed engagement. Obstacles and barriers to success are quickly identified and mitigated. Our primary objectives are to achieve the goals outlined in the engagement agreement while training and mentoring your accounting manager so that the need for our contracted services is significantly reduced or eliminated over time.
