Engage a higher-caliber professional to lead your finance team at a much lower cost.

Eliminate slack time cost i.e. most mid-sized businesses do not have the need (scope of work) for a full-time CFO.
​
Eliminate the cost of employee related taxes or pension contributions (Remote CFO is a consultant and not an employee).
​
Eliminate the need to provide your CFO with any work tools including computer, mobile phones and a motor vehicle.

Flexible service plans
Customize a frequency and level of engagement which you feel comfortable with!
Leverage the flexibility!
With flexible service plans, you can try-out a service frequency and level of engagement which you feel comfortable with and then decide what works for you. At ACS, we can accommodate most needs.
Given below are some generic plans which could be customized for the individual needs of any client.
The consultant is engaged with an understanding that all CFO functions will be performed remotely i.e. where the consultant works with the client through technology based communication tools.
A virtual CFO provides massive cost advantage and feels just like a normal team player who sits in some other office. In a typical week, a virtual CFO will have a comprehensive video meeting with key members of client management and will constantly coordinate with his/her team to effectively manage financial operations. The virtual CFO will enable and maintain a robust reporting function which is kept perpetually up-to-date in a cloud environment and is accessible by management from anywhere and at any time.
​
This plan results in massive savings and much enhanced efficiency & effectiveness.​
