Why might a business need a CFO? Some businesses feel that they have a good grip on their finances and can handle everything on their own, which may be true. But what if there were some opportunities being overlooked?

It is important to have a grounded understanding of a business's financial numbers. As a fractional CFO myself, I am responsible for identifying these gaps and having tough conversations with CEOs to challenge their ideas and ensure focus on what is working and bringing in revenue.

I will discuss some tips to determine if you should look into a CFO, and how a CFO can guide and coach a business to succeed and grow.

[2:24] Why you need a bookkeeper in your business.

[4:36] What is a CFO and how does it work?
