FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does an outsourced CFO actually do, week to week?

You get support for the financial and operational management of your French entity: budget monitoring, cash management, reporting and input on management decisions. The scope can be occasional or continuous, depending on your needs.

At what point should we hire a French finance lead instead of outsourcing?

Once your French operations need a full-time, on-site finance function, typically as headcount, transaction volume or reporting complexity grow. Until then, outsourcing covers the same responsibilities without the cost of a hire.

Can you produce group reporting in our parent's format and currency?

Yes. We prepare consolidated reporting in the format and currency your parent company requires, alongside your French statutory accounts.

How does the handover work if we later hire in-house?

We hand over your processes, reporting templates and financial history to your new finance lead, and stay available during the transition. This keeps your French entity's financial management running without a gap.

Can you manage the French banking relationship and payment approvals?

Yes. We can manage the relationship with your French bank and organise payment approval processes, within the mandate you give us.

How quickly can you take over from an incumbent provider?

This depends on the state of your files and the handover from your current provider. A straightforward transition usually takes no more than a few weeks, and we coordinate directly with the outgoing provider.

Can you support us through a funding round or a group audit?

Yes. We prepare the financial information and documentation needed for a funding round or a group or statutory audit, and liaise directly with your investors' or auditors' teams.

Do you work in our accounting system, or do we move to yours?

Either. We can work in your existing accounting system or use ours, depending on what works best for your reporting and your group's requirements.

How much does management advisory support cost for a foreign subsidiary in France?

It depends on the nature and duration of the assignment: a one-off diagnosis, setting up dashboards, or long-term outsourced management. We prepare a tailored quote after an initial free discussion about your needs and your stage of development.
