What tasks does an external CFO take on?
An external CFO takes on essential financial tasks for companies. This includes developing long-term financial strategies, preparing accurate financial reports to analyse trends and opportunities, optimising financial processes for efficiency, and evaluating investments to ensure profitability.
When do I need a CFO?
- Growth: During growth phases, a CFO helps with financial planning and control in order to strategically steer growth.
- Financial challenges: When financial difficulties arise, a CFO develops solutions to preserve liquidity and reduce costs.
- Decision-making: Before making important decisions, a CFO assesses financial implications and risks to enable well-founded decisions.
- Complex situations: During mergers, acquisitions or international expansion, a CFO provides expertise for successful financial management.
What is the difference between a CFO and a financial accountant?
The CFO acts at top management level and is responsible for the company’s overall financial strategy. They play a key role in the development of long-term business goals and steer the financial direction in this direction.
In contrast, a financial accountant works at an operational level. Their main tasks include bookkeeping, managing financial data and statements, and day-to-day financial transactions.
While the CFO provides strategic financial leadership, the financial accountant focuses on the accurate documentation and processing of financial information on a day-to-day basis.

How important is the CFO in the company?
The CFO is more than just a manager of financial data; he or she is a strategic architect and navigator who keeps the company on course:
As the manager of financial expertise, the CFO is responsible for ensuring that the company uses its financial resources efficiently while minimising potential risks. Their comprehensive analytical skills enable them to recognise trends and opportunities in good time and integrate them into strategic decisions.
The CFO’s role also extends to the level of strategic planning. His in-depth understanding of the figures and the market makes it possible to set long-term goals and find realistic ways to achieve them. Working closely with other managers, he brings financial clarity to the company’s overall strategy.
The CFO’s strength lies not only in their ability to interpret financial reports, but also in their ability to translate their findings into clear, understandable language. This communication expertise enables the CFO to effectively convey financial information and strategies to internal and external stakeholders.
What makes a good CFO?

- Financial expertise
- Strategic focus
- Proactive risk management
- Communication skills
- Leadership skills
- Adaptability

Outsourcing financial management: 6 reasons
1. Use expertise
An external CFO gives you access to the expertise and know-how of professionals who specialise in complex tax and legal requirements.
2. Time saving
By outsourcing your financial management, you free up valuable internal resources that you can direct towards your core competences instead.
3. Risk minimisation
Our financial experts are familiar with the latest legal requirements and can help to minimise potential errors or legal problems.
4. Cost efficiency
Outsourcing financial management can be more cost-efficient in the long term, as hiring an in-house CFO requires considerable financial resources.
5. Confidentiality and security
External service providers guarantee the confidentiality of your sensitive financial data and use modern security measures to prevent data leaks.
6. Flexibility for changes
In the event of changes in the financial system or changing regulations, external experts can make adjustments quickly and smoothly.
