In order to stay competitive, businesses are being forced to examine all aspects of their  operation to identify cost savings and drive efficiencies. Those companies that can do this  successfully will be rewarded with increasing market share and improved profitability. The issue  for small business owners is how to effectively conduct this analysis without knowledgeable  resources to do it. Small businesses have always had the need for a professional accounting  support; however they have not been able to afford the cost of these resources on a full time  basis. As a result many of these companies have attempted to manage their financial operations  without the proper level of talent in place. Typically the small business owner will try to handle  these tasks on their own even though accounting is not their core strength. A common  perception being that the company will save money by handling these functions themselves and  leaving it up to their CPA at the end of the year to handle the tax returns. Consequently  companies could end up with poor financial reporting that impacts their understanding of their  business operations. Thus impacting their inability to obtain adequate bank financing or raise  equity investment for the business. Other financial problems affecting small businesses include:  an increase in the financial complexity of the business that has outgrown the capability of  existing staff; a lack of financial bandwidth on a specific project such as a M & A transaction; an  inability to respond to growth opportunities due to not understanding the relevant financial  implications; and a  lack of understanding on where company profitability is coming from.  Fractional use CFO’s and controllers help their clients across multiple aspects of their business.  In addition to ensuring accurate monthly reporting much work is done in creating financial  projections of the client’s business. This helps management anticipate cash needs subject to  different revenue outcomes. It also helps them when seeking bank financing in advance of the  need. Banks typicallyare reluctant to lend when companies are operating at or near breakeven  (especially today) so being able to anticipate the need in advance and packaging up those  requirements to a bank in an effective manner will help in obtaining adequate debt financing  when needed.   In today’s economic climate every business owner needs to understand their “numbers”. In  order to accomplish this, owners must have accurate and timely financial information on which  to base strategic decisions on. Finding the time to do this though is difficult. Having an  experienced CFO or Controller involved in accumulating accurate data, interpreting the data, …
