As a business owner, what are the biggest challenges you’ve faced on your journey to reach new heights?
STUCK working in the day-to-day operations of my business, not on growing the business and making it better
WORRIED I don’t have a team with the experience to help scale up the business
If success is the peak of your mountain pinnacle, scalable growth is what gets you to the top. And just like climbing a mountain, growth is challenging, a process fraught with unknowns. You need a team of Sherpas — seasoned financial executives who can make the climb with you and help you chart a path to the top. It still won't be easy, but you'll have support and guidance from those who have been there already. .
DISAPPOINTED with the lack forward-looking strategic support in my business
CPAs, controllers, and bookkeepers play important roles in a business. But their function is to look back in time to report where you've been, not to chart a path to where you're going. For that, you need a seasoned financial executive who can match your numbers with your strategy;analyze your business and chart a path forward, to not only strengthen your foundation and build a healthy business, but also grow and create transferable business value. Having a CFO to help you articulate your strategy to stakeholders - from bankers, to potential investors, and even employees - can make sure everyone is on the same page and committed to the business strategy.
FRUSTRATED I don't have the right information to make important decisions about the business
What you don't know can hurt you - especially in business. The most successful entrepreneurs and leaders use this as an opportunity to ask for help. At FocusCFO, we embed ourselves with your leadership team, helping you filter out the noise, understand what metrics matter, and chart a path for the future. It's a proven process that produces maximum impact.
CONCERNED that my business will not deliver the value I need for my future
Do you know your wealth gap – the difference between what you need your business to be worth to fund your future goals and how much you would net if you sold today? Knowing your wealth gap is the first step in achieving your personal financial goals. Next, it's about building value in your business to secure your future financial success.
STRUGGLING to pay for the present while planning for the future
Cash flow is what keeps your lights on, your employees paid and your company moving forward, and yet it is one of the most challenging financial elements to plan for. FocusCFO can help. Our fractional CFO consultants have decades of experience navigating these challenges and can build models and strategies to chart your path to health, growth, and value.

"One thing I will tell any business owner is you have to be able to recognize that you do not know everything and, more importantly, you have to surround yourself with people who know more than you do so you can grow and be successful.
The problem we had is that how do you afford a CFO of the caliber that you want that can perform in the capacity that you need."
