Testimonials

Why Perth Companies Choose Your Financial Controller

two financial experts

  • Sam WillisCEO and Shareholder, Checkside Group Pty Ltd

    Kevin has provided a huge benefit to us in terms of insightful management reporting that is tailored and relevant to our business. Since commencing our engagement, our financial reporting has evolved from pure compliance to an extremely useful management tool for managing and driving efficiency and providing streamlined feedback for the business owners each month. The monthly reporting pack provides great visibility and control over how the business is operating each and every month – which is very powerful – and provides us with the necessary information to make effective decisions as required. As a result we have also managed to reduce our reliance on external accountants and minimised our compliance costs.

    The structure of having a virtual CFO has been a very efficient and cost effective way of a growing business tapping into high quality advice that we otherwise may not be able to afford. The arrangement also integrates seamlessly with our internal functions but is still able to be tweaked and altered as required – which is important flexibility to retain as our business continue to evolve. Most important it is specifically tailored to our business needs and provides a bespoke solution that works extremely well for us.

    Kevin is always available when needed and very responsive and our engagement has freed up a large amount of our management time which is invaluable. In addition, we all really enjoy and value working with Kevin - he is universally liked amongst everyone in the business and is a truly valued member of the Checkside team.

  • Giselle ItalianoDirector and Shareholder, Action Sheds Pty Ltd

    Action Sheds Australia has worked with Kevin and his team since March 2016. We initially brought Kevin into our business to help us understand our financial position and to receive clarity and insight into our business. His team have been a huge asset in helping us to understand the figures and helping us to grow our business.
    His pleasant personality and amazing insight into business have helped us feel confident in using his knowledge as a great sounding board for when we have had to make important decisions. Through working with Kevin we were able to make the right decisions for our business, as he breaks down the finance side, so it is easy to understand. With the insight and clarity to our business we have improved in many areas of how we now run our business. I would personally highly recommend Kevin and his team to help with any business. I think their knowledge and understanding of business finances as well as processes would be a great asset to any business. Kevin and his team have added great value to our business.

  • Shari ClarkCEO and Shareholder, Bin Manager Pty Ltd

    Kevin has become a great asset to my business. I had no idea if I was doing well in my business and how the decisions, I was making were really impacting my business. Kevin has helped me not only understand what those decisions translate in terms of dollars but showed how small changes make big outcomes. My accountant does the compliance stuff, but they don’t give you the details you really need. Now understanding what I was missing is so empowering and valuable, I tell anyone I can about Kevin and what his team does.

  • Nathan FoncecaDirector and Shareholder, IT Dynamics Pty Ltd

    At the start of 2019, our business had been making rapid growth but had made a small loss in the previous financial year. Our books had no proper structure, and therefore we were unable to view accurate reports. We knew we needed to do something as our current situation was not sustainable.

    We first got in touch with Kevin from “Your Financial Controller” in February 2019 for an initial discussion around the services he provides and how he could help our business. We began working with Kevin and his team from May 2019.

    Kevin initially reviewed our chart of accounts and restructured them to suit our unique needs. He then helped implement proper accounting procedures, including an end of month procedure. We now have monthly financial board reports with accurate figures which we find invaluable. Kevin has also implemented a proper yearly budget and forecast, which we review each month in our monthly financial board reports with Kevin.
    By having the financial board reports, we can accurately set goals which we need to meet each month. As a result, we have been able to turn our previous year’s loss into a substantial profit. We can’t recommend the team at Your Financial Controller highly enough.

  • Glen Payne, CEO, DIAB Engineering Pty Ltd

    Well done Kevin to you and the team. The service/support we have received from your team over the last 6 years has been fantastic.

about fractional cfos

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a fractional CFO?

A fractional CFO is a part-time Chief Financial Officer who provides high-level financial expertise to companies on a contractual basis. Typically hired by startups, small to medium-sized businesses, or growing organisations, fractional CFOs offer flexible, cost-effective access to senior financial leadership. They work on a part-time or project basis, helping with financial strategy, fundraising, cash flow management, and reporting, allowing companies to scale their financial expertise as needed.

What can a fractional CFO do?

A fractional Chief Financial Controller (CFO) provides the services of a full-time CFO, but at a fraction of the cost. Acting like an outsourced member of your team, part-time CFOs:

  • Provide high-level financial strategy to the CEO and executive team
  • Ensure adequate liquidity to meet financial obligations on-time
  • Optimise financial systems and reporting
  • Provide financial forecasting
  • Ensure long-term profitability and set a business up for success

What is the difference between a CFO and a Financial Controller?

In Australia, especially in the startup and SME context, the terms CFO and Financial Controller are often used interchangeably. However, there are technically some distinctions:

CFO:

  • Focuses on high-level financial strategy and stakeholder management
  • Typically suited for larger, enterprise-level companies
  • Often a full-time position in larger organisations

Financial Controller:

  • Combines strategic oversight with hands-on implementation
  • Well-suited for startups and SMEs
  • Can be effectively outsourced on a part-time basis

At Your Financial Controller, we offer a hybrid approach that’s ideal for growing businesses:

  • We provide CFO-level strategic insights
  • We offer the hands-on financial management of a Controller
  • Our services are scalable, allowing us to grow with your business

This flexible approach ensures you get the comprehensive financial expertise you need, regardless of whether you call it a CFO or Financial Controller service. We tailor our role to your business size and stage of growth, providing the most relevant and valuable financial leadership.

For a more detailed comparison, check out our Knowledge Hub article: Financial Controller vs CFO.

Is a Fractional CFO right for my business?

There are no hard or fast rules as to when it’s the right time to hire a part-time CFO. Even small and healthy businesses can benefit from part-time CFO services to stay ahead of the game and ensure smooth, continuous business growth.

That being said, we understand that some businesses are more in need than others. In our Knowledge Hub article 6 Top Signs You Need a Virtual CFO, we compile some of the top signs that your business could benefit from our part-time CFO services,

Our services are scalable and suitable for businesses from startups to established enterprises with a turnover exceeding $100 + million.

How often would our fractional CFO be on-site?

This highly depends on your business size and complexity. Some smaller businesses may only need CFO services 2 days a month, whereas others will require a greater level of support with someone on-site several days per week.
We work within your business with your management teams to determine the best frequency for you, with additional support available as needed.
