In large organizations, financial planning, analysis and forecasting is traditionally taken on by the role of a full-time Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Smaller organizations, however, despite having the same needs as their larger counterparts, often find that the investment in a full-time CFO is not a practical or financially plausible option. Through its best-in-class CFO Services, BGS provides growing organizations with a comprehensive solution for their financial management needs, partnering with them on a recurring, scheduled basis to offer the same value as a full-time CFO at only at a portion of the cost. Bookkeeping systems also further these services. Ongoing CFO functions are:

• Comprehensive balance sheet analysis
• Profitability assessment
• Cash flow projections
• Cost analysis
• Forecasting and financial guidence
• Debt financing consultation
• Coordination with partners (i.e. bookkeepers, CPAs, attorneys, etc.)
