We can all agree most entrepreneurs are not accountants and many accountants are not really entrepreneurs. The best of two worlds is when you find that one guy who get its from both the world of understanding the challenges of entrepreneurship and the need to make sure that as an entrepreneur you understand your financial numbers. In this interview with Fabrice Metan, the founder of SimplyMyNumbers.com we learn more about how an accountant who is also a successful entrepreneur might be the best trusted advisor when it comes to your financial numbers. Its like getting an outsourced Chief Financial Officer without the big salary.
Simplify My Numbers was founded with the goal to provide CFO and Accounting expertise to small business owners in a simplified and affordable way.
Fabrice has a strong background as a CFO with years of experience in industries where numbers matter tremendously and drive the entire ecosystem of the Business (Construction, Aircraft, Retail, etc.).
The average small business owner stays overwhelmingly busy working "in the Business", and may not work "on the business" in terms of understanding their financials until tax filing season. The challenge can be this, without proper accounting, the financial health of the Business is unknown. At Simplify My Numbers, their mission is to make proper financial accounting and consulting more accessible for small businesses, not just the "big guys".
Fabrice graduated from Wichita State University with a BS in Accounting in 2010, then completed his MBA in 2015. He has worked at every level of the Accounting profession, including as a Controller/CFO. With success as an entrepreneur, he decided to start Simplify My Numbers when his expertise with numbers and financial analysis was constantly being requested by smaller businesses. With that in mind, he found a way to simplify what could seem complex to most and make it affordable to every business, regardless of size.
In our interview we learn more about how this service can help the small business owner be more successful and grow their business, by working with an outsource CFO for businesses of their size.
