Bookkeeping & Financial Management

Before we Begin:

Before we delve into the benefits of our CFO Solutions, here is Celeste Hilling, founder and CEO of Skin Authority, at the American Express Open with her two cents about the importance of having a CFO and not getting caught up in trying to run all aspects of your business.

Here's Our First Advice as your New Financial Manager, Free of Charge:
Wisely Invest Your Most Valuable Resource... Time

Managing your business finances can take the entirety of your time, leaving you with little time left to be the visionary and innovator that your business needs to succeed. Furthermore, if your strengths are with leading your business then you will want to invest your time in leading, while delegating responsibilities to others with the skills required to get the job done.
This is where Integral Consulting CFO Solutions come in: whether you need someone to just run your numbers and keep your books in order, or you would like to receive actionable advice that can help you lead your business to success, we are here for you. Need payroll done? No problem. Need your Accounts Payable and Accounts Received to be managed? We can do that too. Need somebody to make sense of your books so your accountant can get your taxes done? Yep, we can do that. Do you want profitability reports and advice on which direction to invest your resources? We got it. We gather available financial data from your business, devise new ways of gathering data, and then we delve deep into data analysis to come up with insights that can help your business grow and avoid pitfalls.

Is it affordable?

Short Answer:
Whether you have been doing it all yourself, or have hired an employee to do it for you, the answer is a definite yes and you will likely save thousands of dollars every month in the process.

Long Answer:
If you have been doing it yourself, your business is probably losing money either by you not being available to do your business rather than working its finances, or possibly because of common mistakes made by anyone who has not had the time to hone their expertise in managing business finances, or both.

If you hired an employee to manage your finances, you are likely losing money because your employee probably works by the hour, which is a poor incentive where financial management is concerned. The reason for this is that good financial management does not actually take a lot of time, but rather skill. Meanwhile, chances are your business is your employee's only source of income, meaning that it is in their interest to take as long as possible to manage your finances; or if they don't, then they spend considerable amounts of time doing other things (like Facebook)...

Integral Consulting focuses on efficiency and affordability, and because we work with many clients, there is no incentive for us in wasting time. We meet with you, come up with a plan to fulfill your financial management needs that has a fixed price, and we execute it.

For example, according to Salary.com, an average bookkeeper with 3 years of experience makes about $3,500/month. That does not include the cost to your business in payroll taxes, training, space, or equipment. On the other hand, our average client pays about $1,500/month for the entirety of our CFO solutions, which far supersedes what an average bookkeeper with 3 years of experience can hope to do.

What are the advantages?

Aside from freeing up your time to lead your business and save your business money in the process there are other great benefits to letting Integral Consulting manage your business finances:

Lower risks for your business: we absorb much of the risks involved in the work we do. Our business and our services are insured for $1 Million each.
Experience: we work with multiple clients and we build upon our already existing knowledge with every situation we handle for our clients. This means that chances are that whatever obstacles you are going to come across in the future, we are likely to have already overcome in the past and can use that experience to guide you to success.
We are up and running from the moment we start: You don't have to train us, provide us with space at your business or provide us with equipment to get our job done. We are self sufficient and already excel at what we do.
We are a business, not an employee, so no extra payroll tax costs to go into your business overhead. What you pay us is the extent of our costs.
If you already have an accountant, they will love us: we work very well with existing accountants and they are generally happy to work with us. When we hand them your books, they will have few questions if any, and if they do, we will have answers ready for them.
