The strategic layer above the numbers you care for.
Most finance outsourcing stops at the transactional layer, AP, AR, Payroll. Business Avengers goes further.
CFO Advisory is the thinking that sits above the data, cash flow modelling, financial intelligence, board-ready reporting, and strategic guidance from someone who has sat in the CFO chair.
CFO Advisory is not for every client
If you need AP, AR, Billings and Payroll managed, that's our core service. Start with the 45-day risk-free trial.
CFO Advisory is for businesses that already have their transactional finance running well (whether with us or not), and now need strategic financial intelligence to make better decisions at the board and leadership level.
It's also for companies that can't justify a full-time CFO salary but need CFO-grade thinking.
Typically $10M-$100M revenue businesses in transition: scaling, preparing for acquisition, or navigating a complex financial period.
What we handle, and what it means for you
Our CFO advisory service gives Australian SMEs interim and fractional CFO coverage: cash flow modelling, board and management reporting, KPI dashboards, budgets and reforecasts, capital structure advice, due diligence support and investor or lender reporting.
Right for you if…
If two or more of these sound like your finance function, cfo advisory services with Business Avengers will pay for itself inside the first quarter.
- ✓Fractional CFO, a set number of days per month. You get CFO-grade thinking on a part-time cost basis. Typically 2-5 days per month depending on business complexity. Best for: businesses that need ongoing strategic oversight but can't justify a full-time hire.
- ✓Project-based Advisory, a defined scope for a specific need (cash flow model, acquisition analysis, board reporting redesign, or systems review). Fixed scope, fixed fee. Best for: businesses with a specific, time-bound need that doesn't require ongoing engagement.
CFO Advisory from someone who has done the job
Advisory only works when it is grounded in your actual numbers. We start with a diagnostic of your reporting and cash position, then move to a fixed monthly rhythm of forecasting, reporting and board-ready analysis.
Dilip Kherajani has 15+ years of CFO experience across Australian businesses. He has built finance functions, managed through cash crises, supported acquisitions, and reported to boards.
CFO Advisory at Business Avengers isn't delivered by a generalist consultant. It's delivered by someone who has sat in the role, and understands the difference between advice that sounds good in a meeting and advice that actually works when the pressure is on.
CFO Advisory can be combined with BA's transactional services (AP, AR, Billings, Payroll) or engaged independently. Some clients come for advisory and discover the operational opportunity.
