CFO Advisory, Business Avengers
Services/CFO Advisory

The strategic layer above the numbers.

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.

the problem we solve

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.

01

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.

02

It's also for companies that can't justify a full-time CFO salary but need CFO-grade thinking.

03

Typically $10M-$100M revenue businesses in transition: scaling, preparing for acquisition, or navigating a complex financial period.

Who this is for

Right for you if…

  • 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.
How it works

CFO Advisory from someone who has done the job

01

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.

02

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.

FAQ

Questions CFOs ask us

How is this different from hiring a part-time CFO directly?+
When you hire a fractional CFO independently, you're hiring an individual. With Business Avengers, Dilip's advisory work is backed by a team that can execute, AP, AR, Billings, Payroll, financial modelling support. The advice doesn't stop at the strategy layer; it connects to operational delivery.
Do we need to use BA's transactional services to access CFO Advisory?+
No. CFO Advisory can be engaged independently. Some clients come to us for advisory only; others start with AP, AR, Billings and Payroll and add the advisory layer later. Both paths work.
How quickly can you start?+
For project-based work, typically within two weeks of signing. For fractional CFO arrangements, we run a structured onboarding to understand your business, your board, and your current financial position. Allow 2-3 weeks to get to full operating rhythm.
Is there a minimum engagement?+
For fractional CFO arrangements, we ask for a minimum 3-month commitment to allow enough time to deliver meaningful work. Project engagements are scoped individually. All engagements are discussed in the initial discovery call before any agreement is signed.
Do you provide a 45-day risk-free trial for CFO Advisory?+
The 45-day risk-free trial applies to our AP, AR, Billings and Payroll services. CFO Advisory engagements are structured differently, but we do offer an initial discovery call and scoping session at no cost, so you understand exactly what you're getting before you commit.

CFO Advisory starts with a conversation.

No questionnaire, no pitch deck. A 30-minute call with Dilip, tell him where you are, where you want to be, and what's getting in the way. He'll tell you honestly whether Business Avengers can help and how.
