A Part-Time CFO to Bring Clarity to Your Numbers

Revenue comes in but the bank account stays empty. You work hard, send invoices, and make sales but have no idea where the money actually goes. At Inspired Management Consulting, we provide Part-Time CFO services for business owners who need financial leadership without the six-figure salary. Get clarity on cash flow, understand your true profitability, and finally make decisions based on data instead of gut feelings.

Where Is the Money

You Have Revenue but No Idea Where the Money Goes

Your bookkeeper enters transactions. Your accountant files taxes once a year. But nobody sits down and explains what the numbers actually mean. You look at your profit and loss statement and see revenue growing while your bank account tells a different story. Expenses pile up in categories you do not understand. Cash disappears into payroll, suppliers, and overhead without clear visibility.

So you avoid looking at the numbers because they stress you out. You price jobs based on what competitors charge instead of what they actually cost. You make hiring decisions without knowing if you can afford the salary. Tax season brings surprises because nobody tracked things properly. A Part-Time CFO changes this. You get a financial partner who makes your numbers make sense and gives you control over where every dollar goes.

Part time CFO

Your Bookkeeper Is Not a CFO

A bookkeeper records what already happened. They enter invoices, categorize expenses, and reconcile bank statements. That is essential work but it does not tell you what to do next. A Part-Time CFO analyzes those numbers and turns them into strategy. They forecast cash flow, identify profit leaks, set pricing based on real margins, prepare financial packages for lenders, and guide decisions that grow the business. Your bookkeeper keeps the records. Your CFO uses those records to build a stronger company.

The CFO Role

The Work a Part-Time CFO Handles for You

A Part-Time CFO does more than review your books. They provide strategic financial leadership that helps you understand your numbers, make smarter decisions, and build a business that banks and investors trust.


Cash Flow Management

We forecast cash coming in and going out so you always know where you stand. No more surprises when payroll hits. You see problems weeks before they arrive and plan accordingly.

Financial Reporting and Analysis

We turn confusing spreadsheets into clear reports you actually understand. Profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and dashboards that show what is working and what is bleeding money.

Budgeting and Profitability

We build realistic budgets tied to your goals and track performance against them. You know your true margins by product, service, and customer so you stop underpricing and start maximizing profit.

Bank and Lender Relations

We prepare the financial packages banks require and speak their language. When you apply for financing, your numbers are organized, professional, and ready. Loan approvals come faster and at better terms.
