Why Alpha Squared?
The financial concept of “Alpha” describes an investment’s tendency to outperform a benchmark index (like the S&P 500) on a risk-adjusted basis, which means that it performs better and adds more value than expected against a standard investment.
“Squared” implies an exponential return on that investment. We believe that our fractional CFO services can provide that return on investment for your business. An investment in the right fractional CFO can help accelerate the financial maturity and overall performance of a business – beyond what might be expected.
“Alpha Squared” describes who we are and what our mission is:
To deliver uncommon value to our clients and help them achieve their goals by creating strategic advantages for their business.
Proven Results – Designed Individually for each Client.
What drives business value?
Business Value Drivers
There are many factors that influence the value of a business. A fractional CFO can help identify and optimize the most important ones for your business.
What is a Fractional CFO?
A fractional Chief Financial Officer or “CFO” is an experienced financial executive who provides part-time, high-level strategic financial leadership to companies on a contract or project basis. A fractional CFO offers the same expertise as a full-time Chief Financial Officer and performs the same functions —such as budgeting, forecasting, analytics. leadership and capital raising—but on a flexible, cost-effective, and part-time basis.
While this is the technical definition of a fractional CFO – we also like to think of ourselves as a true partner, able to use our financial expertise to help your business, its leaders, and critical stakeholders.
How can I improve my financial oversight?
As a business considers adding additional financial expertise, it is important to understand some key differences between a bookkeeper, controller and a CFO.
While a CFO normally has oversight over all financial functions, a bookkeeper and controller have specializations that are also often critical to the business operations..
All of these roles can be either fractional or full-time depending on the needs of the business. A fractional CFO can help you find, engage and supervise these professionals.
Alpha Squared CFO will help you determine exactly what skill sets and staffing you need. Between our own staff and access to our network of key partners, we can provide targeted, cost-effective turnkey solutions while allowing you to focus on building your business.
