Consulting and Part-Time CFO Services

Many companies would definitely benefit from CFO level services, but it isn’t cost effective at the present level of business to have a full-time position, so we offer services on a PART-TIME, INTERIM, or PROJECT basis with complete flexibility to meet your needs. Like never before, companies are facing pressure to reduce costs and optimize efficiency in order to remain competitive in the global marketplace. External Resources is your cost effective strategic solution partner to perform crucial tasks in accounting/financial management, raising capital, cost containment solutions, IT solutions, mergers & acquisitions, and other key financial solutions. We work with your team to develop systems and processes to manage your business in real-time. Whether you’re a start-up in any phase trying to get to the next level, a rapid growth company lacking the proper infrastructure, or a company facing other significant challenges, we have the expertise to be your solutions partner. We strive to provide a very attractive ROI on your investment in our services. We are highly committed to working in our community to help companies exceed their key financial objectives in an effort to facilitate local job creation.

We differentiate ourselves from other firms offering similar services by offering a FREE Comprehensive Business Analysis/Review that typically takes 1-2 days and covers dozens of mission critical areas resulting in a recommendation report to substantially enhance your business operations. Many firms charge $2k to $5k for a similar analysis, so you’re receiving some value for your time. Our goal is not to bury you with another lengthy report full of recommendations, like many traditional consulting firms, that don’t get implemented or are excessively expensive to implement. We only charge if you decide to proceed with all or part of our recommendations. Our cost effective rates mentioned in FEES below is less than 50% of most competition due to maintaining a very low overhead operation and passing those savings along.
