KEY POINTS

  1. The various financial tasks in a business (bookkeeping, accounting, CFO) is crucial in providing a clear picture on the condition and growth capacity of any company. Financial reports are important in informing on the strategies that a company may undertake to ensure a successful and profitable undertaking.
  2. It is important to have a change of mindset on how one views taxes and hiring. Attitudes of wanting to pay the lowest tax possible as well as not delegating jobs that the owners are doing may hamper the potential growth of the company.
  3. The Virtual CFO not only provides an objective eye in reviewing the financial and operational standing of a company but more importantly provides cash flow projections. This will enable owners to make informed decisions on which expenses the company would be able to bear in the long run.
  4. To ensure the success of a business and adequate capital to respond to changes, there should be a good gross profit margin. This is often neglected when pricing a product and have led to the failure of businesses.
