4. Your business has a special project that requires budgeting and forecasting, financing, capital contributions, system implementations, and/or other cost and time-sensitive tasks.
5. Your business is experiencing unexplained cash-flow problems and/or losses and needs a fractional CFO that can uncover errors, inefficiencies and even fraud.
