For the fraction of a cost of an in-house CFO, you can hire an outsourced, part-time or virtual one who can take care of the work. And where better to look for an outsourced or virtual CFO than with Robards Advisory?

Simply put, a Chief Financial Officer is the senior executive who looks after a company’s finances. A CFO has a number of responsibilities including:

  • Reporting accurate financial information for the benefit of all company stakeholders.

  • Strategising how best to invest company money.

  • Economic forecasting: using the information available to predict the future of the economy.

  • Overseeing the business’s taxation affairs and liaising with external accountants etc.

Not only will hiring a part-time or outsourced CFO save you money, it also has a range of other benefits. By decreasing your overall expenses, an outsourced CFO will make it easier to scale your business. Bringing an unbiased “outsider” on board can also help you to see your business from a fresh perspective. Of course, it’s only an effective strategy if the CFO has the experience to take your business to the next level.

Chances are we can fulfill whatever financial requirements you have in mind.

How We Works With You

  • 1 It starts when you get in touch with us. Pat or a member of his team will have a long conversation with how about the state of your business and your goals. Tell us your sticking points and what you want to achieve.
  • 2 By listening to you and taking an objective look at your business from an outsider’s perspective, Pat can handle a handle on what your business needs most. No matter what your concerns or money-making goals are, you can discuss them with Pat and he can draw on his three decades of experience to offer you suggestions.
  • 3 Thanks to technology, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have room in the budget or even in the office for a Chief Financial Officer. Pat can work remotely from his own space and be available as much or as little as you need him.

Pat will be available but only to the extent that you need a CFO. If you decide to hire somebody in-house or assume responsibility for the role yourself, that’s absolutely fine with Pat. He’s available in any capacity necessary in order to meet your business needs and future goals.
