OUTSOURCED CFO Services

What does an outsourced CFO do?

An outsourced CFO is an experienced financial expert, outside of your own company, who provides fiscal & operational guidance. The role has a variety of titles (Virtual CFO, Part-time CFO & Fractional CFO) but each provides the same solution; complete strategic guidance at the fraction of a full-time CFO salary.

Contact us to learn more about our fractional CFO services before spending over $400K for a less experienced in-house solution.

Why growing businesses choose ORBA's outsourced CFO services.

Price meets strategy. Get quarterly CFO check-ups without paying the CFO salary.

Gain a financial thought partner so that you can focus on your core business operations.

Identify and track the industry-specific KPIs you need to accelerate growth.

Get back your focus to grow your business.

“I feel like we have an additional member of the team that has given me back my focus so I can help grow the business... So by partnering with ORBA, it's one more way to fortify our services and our offerings. To have a full-time CFO, we didn’t think that we could attract the right caliber of talent to be able to do that, being that we’re a small business. So this is the absolutely right fit for us right now. [Kim]’s helping us really understand our cash flow. We’ve set a big revenue goal this year, and we want to make sure that we are on track to meet that.”
