CFO Outsourcing for Companies in China

A Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is crucial, while the hiring cost is significant. That’s when Hongda’s CFO outsourcing service is just right for you!

It is well recognized that an experienced Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is absolutely an essential part for the operations of all companies. Responsible for conducting financial planning, defining taxation strategies, managing internal control, and legal compliance, and sometimes making investment decisions and managing the capital structure, a qualified CFO always plays an important role that should never be ignored.

For most startups, as well as medium- and small-size companies, how to find a senior financial manager can be challenging, not to mention the financial burden of recruiting an in-house CFO. That is why Hongda’s CFO Outsource service is just right for you and your company in China! You will enjoy financial management performance as outstanding as a full-time CFO can provide, at the cost of a part-time senior financial specialist! We will also assist you in building a comprehensive financial management framework to drive your operation and business to greater success!

Experienced CFOs of international enterprises who handle cross-border investments have a good understanding of how to apply International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to manage Chinese accounting. They are adept at seamlessly integrating local financial software data into the enterprise's internal financial systems.

 

What Does A CFO Outsource Service Include?

Nowadays, a company’s decision-making largely relies on data and the potential information it contains. Helping your company extract valuable insights from financial data is the crucial factor of Hongda’s CFO outsource services, simplifying the strategy planning process from ‘essay questions’ to multiple-choice questions, and shifting your business in China from ‘intuitive thinking’ to ‘data-driven thinking’.

 

Differences between Bookkeeping and CFO Outsourcing?

 

 

Traditional bookkeeping services focus on the essential daily financial history and tax reporting, where the transactions of your company are recorded. These services can be standard as the processes and requirements are much similar. 

CFO outsourcing, on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of financial management and planning in advance, designed to manage the more complex financial aspects of your company. A well-established financial management framework can support and back your company’s strategic decision-making, providing customized solutions with deep insights into the operations of your company in China.

Considering the importance of CFO to your business operation in China, there are many reasons to choose CFO outsourcing services:
