Many small to medium sized businesses have a need for the high level accounting and financial oversight typically provided by a Chief Financial Officer ("CFO").  Unfortunately, they often conclude they can't afford to hire a CFO or don't have the recurring need to justify such a hire.

If you find yourself in such a situation, you may benefit from a contract CFO.  A contract CFO allows you and your company to benefit from the expertise of a senior financial manager on a part time or temporary basis, which results in a very cost effective solution.
