Why smeCFO?

Over the years, we've realised that Small and Medium sized Enterprises had a strong need for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in their organisation though they couldn't afford to invest in a full time person. Business owners would make better decisions with a Finance Leader onboard, driving operational excellency and strategic developments.

That's why we decided to combine our complementary experiences to meet the demand of entrepreneurs and business owners in need of a part time Finance Executive able to help them with their numbers, manage their cashflow and accounting, as well as advise them in taking strategic decisions.

"By adding value to your financial management,
we will help you focus on what you do best, growing your business."
