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. We believe that our fractional CFO services can be described in a similar context. An investment in the right fractional CFO can help accelerate the financial maturity and overall performance of a business – beyond what might be expected. “Squared” implies an exponential return on that investment.
“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 CFO is an experienced financial executive who provides part-time, high-level strategic financial leadership to companies on a contract or project basis. They offer the same expertise as a full-time Chief Financial Officer—such as budgeting, forecasting, analytics. leadership and capital raising—but on a flexible, cost-effective, and part-time basis.
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, the bookkeeper and controller have specializations that are often necessary to have in place before a CFO is engaged.
All of these roles can be either fractional or full-time depending on the needs of the business.
