Outsourced Administrative and Financial Management

Today, we operate in an ever-changing economic environment that presents great opportunities for businesses, but also serious challenges to overcome. Financial management of a company is thus a crucial strategy for the success and sustainability of businesses. Managing complexities in taxation and legal matters, operational cost management and optimization, increasing complexity in seeking financing, and internal structuring of company processes are all challenges that business leaders face.

Given these challenges, it is essential to surround yourself with experts capable of supporting you. Outsourced financial management allows you to benefit from skilled experts without having to bear the costs of hiring, training, and the legal obligations of an employment contract.

Recurring Services:

Recurring services include, on one hand, accounting organization. You may have chosen to have an internal accounting service in your company or to delegate accounting to an external accountant. If your accounting service is internalized, the external financial director can act as the manager of the accounting department, define the organization of the service, allocate tasks of each stakeholder, address various questions from accountants (especially when more complex topics or special situations arise), transfer his knowledge and skills to your staff, and optimize the efficiency of the accounting department. The external financial director can play a real driving role within your accounting department and thus improve the productivity, reliability, and compliance of the accounting information.

Another recurring service that may fall to the external financial director is the creation of reports and dashboards. Reports can be very diverse in form and contain all types of information specific to your activity. They can be produced weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Reports and dashboards are real tools that are there to facilitate your decision-making. Reports and dashboards are thus constructed according to your needs and the specifics of your company and your market. At ACFIN PARTNERS, we develop a resolutely collaborative approach, making your needs the centerpiece of our work. The purpose of these reports is to provide you with operational information and a clear vision of the evolution of your activity or other indicators that are important to you.

In the framework of its recurring services, the external financial director can participate in the preparation of your budgets. Always adopting a collaborative approach, the external financial director, combining his financial expertise with your business knowledge, can create a 3-year or 5-year budget for your company, as close to reality as possible. Budget monitoring, that is, the tracking of actual versus budget, can also fall within the scope of the external financial director. The budget is an indispensable tool in a company that provides direction and a long-term vision. The budget allows setting objectives for the operational teams, detecting sources of inefficiency, or on the contrary, profitable activities within the organization. The comparison between actual and budget also allows putting words to numbers, on identified opportunities or risks. It enables the organization of the company’s resources and ensures their optimal management.

The budget is therefore a tool at the service of the management. It must live at the rhythm of the company, be analyzed to draw lessons, seize opportunities, identify risks, and make decisions for the future of the company. All of these are missions for which the external financial director can support you.

The external financial director can also participate in the reliability of your financial information system. Financial information is at the heart of your decision-making. Relying on erroneous, approximate, or incomplete financial information leads you to make decisions that are not in line with the reality of your company or your market. Our outsourced financial management service allows you to benefit from the expertise of ACFIN PARTNERS to set up a financial information system (accounting software, ERP, cash management software, …) efficiently and adapted to the specifics of your activity and your company. You can find more information on this subject in the section dedicated to digital transformation. This reliability of financial information also involves the reliability of your internal processes. That is why our outsourced financial management service accompanies you in setting up clear, efficient processes adapted to your structure, allowing you on the one hand to ensure a certain internal control and on the other hand to minimize the risks of errors in the processing of information.

One-Time Services:

The outsourced financial management service can also be used more occasionally for very specific needs of your organization.

These occasional needs can materialize by the need for support in order to review the administrative and accounting organization of your company. Very often, we have observed companies that have set up an organization at their beginning and have never evolved this organization even though it no longer necessarily lends itself to the activity of the company as it has evolved. It may then be interesting to ask the right questions in terms of organization, distribution of tasks, processes, etc… It is in this context that ACFIN PARTNERS, with many years of experience with different companies of all sizes, can provide valuable advice by assessing the current organization and proposing improvement avenues to gain efficiency, reduce the workload of your teams, or improve the internal control of your company.

Throughout the life of your company, many challenges arise. In order to meet them, you have surrounded yourself with a team with which you regularly or more occasionally organize management committees to discuss certain specific issues you encounter, possible development opportunities, etc… It may be interesting during these meetings to involve an external financial director and for several reasons. The external financial director can challenge your positions, allow you to question certain reasonings, bring experience by sharing situations experienced in other cases, or bring more technical financial expertise.

Another occasional service that may require support from an external financial director concerns all external growth operations or restructurings. In the case of external growth opportunities, the external financial director can support you in the context of an acquisition audit, in your search for financing, in the selection of types of financing, in the selection of financiers, etc… In the case of restructuring, the support of an external financial director can also be precious, whether it is in the context of a merger, a split, a divestiture, etc…

These subjects all being very technical, requiring very sharp financial, fiscal, and legal expertise and representing a significant challenge for your company, the recourse to an outsourced financial management service can prove extremely valuable.

Your company may have reached a stage where, to develop in the best possible way, you need additional funds. ACFIN PARTNERS, through its outsourced financial management service, puts all its skills, all its expertise, and all its network at your service to support you in your search for financing. Whether you are orienting yourself towards bank financing or private financing, ACFIN PARTNERS can support you throughout the fundraising process.

Are you looking for short-term financing? ACFIN PARTNERS can also support you on this subject according to your needs.

ACFIN PARTNERS can also be a privileged partner in the context of a project to set up in France or Luxembourg. As part of our outsourced financial management service, we can support you in this process to best manage your decision to internationalize.

The needs of companies are all different depending on the maturity of each one. Some will need support at the beginning of the activity to set up a Business Plan, a forecast, support in the search for financing, etc… Others will need support at a more advanced stage of their development, during external growth opportunities or restructuring for example or during the implementation of new tools. And finally, other companies will need more regular support on subjects such as management control, cash management, risk management, etc…

ACFIN PARTNERS, thanks to its experience and expertise, can support you at all stages of the life of your company. Using the outsourced financial management service with ACFIN PARTNERS ensures flexibility, efficiency, time savings, optimization of performance, and optimization of your budget since you do not bear the cost of hiring.
