What clients say
Our Virtual CFO gave us a 13-week cash flow forecast that completely changed how we manage the business. We now know our cash position weeks ahead and can make payment and investment decisions with much more confidence.

We had an accountant, but we didn’t really have financial management. BI-Outsource stepped in as our Virtual CFO, bringing together reporting, cash-flow planning, budgets and management insights. For the first time, our monthly numbers actually help us make decisions.

Common questions
How much does a Virtual CFO cost?
£1,200 a month, or £12,000 a year paid upfront. No UK VAT is charged; the service is supplied from India. The scope is agreed on the first call, and you pay only if you go ahead.
What happens on the free call?
A 30-minute call with an accountant. We look at how your business runs today, where the numbers are weak, and what a Virtual CFO would change. You get a written proposal afterwards.
Who will be my CFO?
A senior member of the BI-Outsource team, led by chartered accountants, who stays with your business so you do not have to explain things twice.
Do I still need my accountant?
Your Virtual CFO works with your existing accountant, or BI-Outsource can take over bookkeeping and compliance as a separate service.
