Read Full ArticleWork with a dedicated Virtual CFO and team of accountants, CPAs and tax professionals to help your firm accelerate growth, navigate change and achieve success.
At Summit Virtual CFO by Anders, we offer comprehensive financial reporting, forecasting and a variety of tax services that give you deeper levels of insight into your firm, ultimately creating a roadmap to reach your professional goals. A dynamic forecast based on solid non-financial drivers will help you manage cash flow, increase revenue and strategize for long-term growth. Our experienced CFOs focus on profitability and growing cash to sustain your firm operations.
Our Virtual CFO Service may be a perfect fit for you if:
Your firm has reached over $2 million in annual revenue.
Your company has grown to the point that you need professional financial advice but can’t yet afford a full-time CFO or controller.
You’re looking to replace an existing CFO and don’t need an on-site CFO on a daily basis.
You need strategic support, at an affordable, fixed rate.
Our process starts with onboarding. Our team works hard during onboarding to get caught up with your existing processes. We look at your past books, build a forecasting model and set of KPIs, and perform a detailed review of your financial statements/chart of accounts to make sure we’re all on the same page and getting started on the right foot. Note: During the onboarding period, our normal weekly fee is doubled to cover the additional resources and effort needed to get up to speed in a timely manner.
How we work together after onboarding: Each service level has a different meeting cadence. After an initial onboarding period, a typical month might include:
If we are paying bills as part of the engagement, we will also meet weekly with one individual team member for about 15-30 minutes to go over cash flow for the next six to 13 weeks. We find that this schedule works best for most clients, but it is tailored to fit your needs. Regardless of the level of service you choose, we are always available anytime for questions, calls, and impromptu meetings.
Our pricing policy is fixed. Your quote is not an estimate.
We learn what you need and use specific criteria to itemize an all-encompassing price. There are no hidden costs or miscellaneous fees. Your price won’t change unless you choose to change service levels or add à la carte options.
We price weekly because we are not a traditional accountant that you see once per quarter. And we’re not simply another vendor. Your employees don’t increase their rates, and they don’t charge you every time you ask them a question. Neither will we. We’re an extension of your team, and we want you to treat us that way!
*The average price scales based on revenue and employee count. Final pricing takes into account these factors and a la carte services added on by the client. Pricing has been updated as of 2/21/2023.
