Partnering Opportunities : Group CFOs

We are seeking individuals who are either presently providing CFO and Controller services to small/medium size businesses, or who want to begin providing these services. At this time, our market covers Central Ohio, including communities within approximately seventy-five (75) miles of Columbus, Ohio. We are presently evaluating other markets.

Individuals face numerous challenges when providing CFO and Controller services on their own – the difficulties revolve around the need to balance demands in business development and client support as well as the costs related to administration, networking, recruiting and marketing.

By working within our group, you will have access to individuals who are providing similar services, plus you will have the materials and tools to help you with marketing, business development, ongoing recruiting and personnel support. We also provide administrative support within the group with respect to legal matters, internal administration, business insurance and recruiting of personnel to work for you with clients.
