In this episode:

As businesses scale beyond $100,000 a year in revenue, overhead expenses become more frequent and costly. Consequently, accounting executives lack financial clarity, creating the need for a fractional CFO (chief financial officer) to implement systems and provide guidance. How can you leverage these professionals to maximize profitability while focusing on your strategic vision for the business?

According to executive CPA Hannah Smolinski, revenue and expenses impact profitability, so developing recurring revenue streams is pivotal for growth. Fractional CFOs can help you establish these systems by evaluating your P&L statements to optimize labor and additional overhead costs. If your company loses revenue consistently, a fractional CFO may recommend restructuring your business processes to boost profitability. This involves expanding your service offerings and value propositions based on your top clients’ needs.

Tune in to this episode of Systems Simplified as Adi Klevit talks with Hannah Smolinski, the Founder and CEO of Clara CFO Group, about creating recurring revenue streams. Hannah discusses the core profitability drivers for companies, when to hire a fractional CFO, and her process for helping businesses systemize their financials.
