Our Process
FAQs
How is a Virtual CFO different from an accountant or CA?
An accountant records what has happened and files returns. A Virtual CFO uses that data to plan ahead: forecasts, runway, fundraising readiness and board reporting. The two work together.
When should a company hire a Virtual CFO?
Typically when you are preparing to raise funds, when monthly reporting is delayed or ad hoc, when cash flow and runway are not forecast, or when the founder is still handling day-to-day finance.
Can Virtual CFO services support investor reporting?
Yes. Financial dashboards, forecasting, and investor reporting are key parts of Virtual CFO support.
What engagement models do you offer?
We work on a monthly retainer, on a project basis, on fractional days each month, or on an hourly basis for specific advice. The right model depends on whether you need continuous support or help with a specific event.
How much do Virtual CFO services cost in India?
Virtual CFO services typically cost ₹12–36 lakh a year, depending on scope and how much senior time you need. A full-time CFO typically costs ₹60–120 lakh a year. Share your requirements for a fixed monthly quote.
Are Virtual CFO services suitable for mid-sized companies?
Yes. Mid-sized and founder-led companies use a Virtual CFO for budgeting, reporting, governance and expansion planning when they are not ready for a full-time CFO.
