What is a Virtual Finance Director?

A Virtual Finance Director (VFD) is an experienced finance professional who provides part-time financial guidance to businesses. They are qualified accountants with a broad understanding of financial management, strategic planning and business growth. A VFD is a flexible and cost effective alternative to a full time finance director for small to medium sized businesses, startups and entrepreneurs. They help businesses navigate financial issues and achieve their growth goals.

Their main role is to help business owners make informed decisions, grow the business and improve financial performance. VFDs offer services such as financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, management accounting and strategic planning.
