The CFO/Controller You Didn’t Think You Needed (Or Could Afford) – Until Now

Often, people think CFOs and controllers are for massive corporations with complex financial portfolios. 

But if your business is growing, struggling with cash flow, or needing strategic financial guidance, a CFO or controller is not just beneficial – it’s essential. 

With BELAY’s fractional CFO and Controller services, it’s also more affordable than you think.

Do You Need a CFO or Controller?

If you’re managing finances on your own or relying on a bookkeeper to “keep the lights on,” you may be missing critical financial insights that could help scale your business. Here are a few signs you need more financial leadership:

1. Your cash flow is unpredictable, and you’re unsure how to stabilize it.
2. You struggle to create or stick to a financial strategy.
3. You need better forecasting and budgeting to make informed decisions.
4. You’re preparing for growth but aren’t sure how to structure your finances.
5. Tax season is overwhelming, and financial compliance feels like a guessing game.

A CFO or controller provides strategic financial oversight, helps optimize spending, and ensures your business is on a sustainable path to profitability.

The Myth of Affordability

Many business owners assume hiring a CFO or controller is out of reach. A full-time, in-house CFOs and controllers can command a six-figure salary—something most small or mid-sized businesses simply can’t justify. 

That’s where fractional CFO and controller services come in.
