GVX serves as an extension of the traditional accounting & finance function to close critical gaps that are key in the process of growth planning, working capital planning, progressing from one growth stage to the next. Some examples of this are expansion, raising capital, preparing for expanded financial partner relationships, preparing for exit readiness, growth and profit related analysis, budgeting and revenue modeling, and more. For many clients in the $5M - $100M range, a GVX fractional CFO or a senior-level Financial Planning & Analysis consultant is a strategic and cost-effective approach for supplementing the internal team to guide and support growth-related finance needs.
