Phil Mazur of The CFO Mission joins me today to dig into the topic of virtual CFO work for the property management industry. He’s our virtual CFO at RentWerx, so we personally use and endorse him! Pay attention to this episode to see if he and his services are right for you, too.

Throughout his career, Phil has worked in financial and accounting roles. Most of his jobs have been as a financial analyst, and he learned that he enjoys working as a CFO. As he’ll explain today, a CFO is very different from an accountant, and has several important roles within a company. He left his job with a Fortune 500 company once he reached a point of diminishing returns, and has been working as a virtual CFO since then.

Since Phil works with us personally, we can offer some great insight into how the process actually works. He’ll explain today what he’s done for our company (and of course, I’ll offer some insights from my perspective as well). This should give you some great insight into exactly what he’ll be able to do for you. For example, he started with the low-hanging fruit, like scanning checks, entering receipts, and doing bank deposits in AppFolio.

While lots of this is stuff that your team could do, they shouldn’t be doing it. Your team is jumping from task to task all day, so they’re more likely to make mistakes than people who are focused exclusively on these roles all day. You’re also probably paying your team more than you would be paying for this virtual service, so switching can save you money as well as time and effort. Getting these things off of your team members’ plates frees them up to add more value to your company!

Tune into this episode to learn all about the benefits and processes of hiring a virtual CFO. Phil will go into depth about what he’s done for our company and exactly what you can expect from him, both in the initial process and in an ongoing way.
