When a Growing Business Needs a Fractional CFO
A business usually needs fractional CFO support when the owner can no longer rely on bank balance accounting. The signs are easy to spot: revenue is growing but cash feels tight, decisions are being made from gut feel, reports arrive too late, margins are unclear and tax planning only happens after the year is over.
A fractional CFO gives the business a forward-looking finance function without the cost of a full-time executive. The work may include monthly management reports, cash flow forecasts, budget reviews, financial models, pricing support, board packs, KPI tracking and scenario planning. For SMEs, this can be the difference between knowing that something happened and understanding what to do next.
In North Sydney, where many businesses operate in professional services, education, consulting, health, technology and corporate support sectors, the finance function needs to support strategy. Owners need to understand capacity, staff cost, revenue pipeline, debtor risk, tax exposure and investment decisions before those items become stressful.
Target Advisory provides CFO-level support in a practical way. We focus on usable reports, clear financial models and advice that helps management make decisions. The aim is not to create complex spreadsheets for decoration. The aim is to build a calmer, sharper finance rhythm for growing businesses.
