CFO Services
A complete finance function on retainer — a named senior CFO, working on top of analysts, compliance specialists, bookkeepers and an onsite operations team. The capability of a full department, at 40–50% less than one full-time hire.
There is a long stretch in a company’s life where an accountant is no longer enough and the finance function needs someone who can sit in front of a board, a bank or an investor and hold the room. That gap is where avoidable decisions get made: pricing set by instinct, cash managed by bank balance, and a fundraise attempted with numbers that don’t survive diligence.
Hiring one senior person rarely closes it. A CFO with nobody underneath them ends up doing reconciliations; a fractional CFO on two days a month gives you judgement and then leaves the work on a desk in your office. The analysis still has to be built, the filings still have to be made, and month-end still has to close.
So we staff the whole function rather than renting you a person. A named CFO owns your account — the reporting cycle, the management meetings, the room when it matters. Underneath sits the team that does the work: financial analysts, compliance specialists, data analysts, bookkeepers and, where the job needs to be physically in your office, an onsite finance operations team.
That means the engagement covers both halves of the job. The financial half — management accounts, forecasting, margin and scenario work, and the board, bank and investor conversations. And the statutory half — VAT and tax filings, withholding, licence renewals, RJSC and Bangladesh Bank submissions, and representation when an assessment or hearing comes. Numbers that are useful, and numbers that are defensible, are not the same job.
You are buying a finance department, not a salary. Clients typically spend 40–50% less than a comparable full-time CFO hire — and that hire would still have needed a team beneath them.
The team you plug into
Your CFO
The named lead on your account. Owns the reporting cycle, sits in your management meetings, and represents the numbers to your board, your bank and your investors. The person accountable for the whole engagement.
Financial analysts
Build what the CFO decides on — budgets, forecasts, variance analysis, scenario models, cost and margin work. The modelling layer most lean finance teams never get to.
Compliance specialists
VAT and income tax filings, licence renewals, RJSC and NBR submissions, Bangladesh Bank and BIDA reporting, statutory audit coordination, and representation at assessments and hearings — so the numbers are not only useful but defensible.
Data analysts
Build and maintain your live CEO dashboard, and pull operational data into the financial picture so you are reading one version of the business, not three.
Bookkeepers
Day-to-day ledger, reconciliations, payables and receivables, and a clean month-end close — worked inside the accounting platform you already use.
Onsite finance operations
For the work that has to happen in your office: vouchers and documentation, cash and bank handling, coordination with your own staff, and the physical paperwork Bangladeshi compliance still runs on.
What lands on your desk
Management accounts
Monthly and quarterly, with board-ready commentary.
Live CEO dashboard
A single, always-current view of cash, revenue and the metrics that matter to you — so you see where the business stands between reporting cycles, not just after month-end close.
Cash flow forecasting
And active working capital management.
Budgeting and variance analysis
With regular financial performance review.
Banking and lender relationships
Managed directly, on your behalf.
Transaction support
Financial due diligence support for fundraising, investment or acquisition.
Cost and margin analysis
Cost structure review and margin improvement recommendations.
Systems oversight
ERP and accounting system review and improvement.
Team development
Finance team management and capability building.
Scenario modelling
For strategic and capital decisions.
Representation
In investor, board and bank meetings.
The compliance calendar we run
Monthly VAT returns
Prepared, reconciled and filed with the NBR, with input and output records maintained so the return survives inspection.
Withholding tax — TDS and VDS
Deduction at source computed, deposited to the treasury on schedule and returned. The obligation lean finance teams most often under-run, and the one that compounds fastest.
Corporate income tax
Annual return, advance income tax instalments, and the year-round record-keeping that makes the return defensible rather than merely filed.
Assessments, hearings and appeals
We build the file, draft the responses and represent you before the tax and VAT authorities — so a query stays a query instead of becoming a penalty.
Licences and renewals
Trade licence, VAT registration, import and export registration and sector permits tracked and renewed before they lapse, not after someone notices.
RJSC filings
Annual return and AGM filings, plus the form filings triggered by changes in directors, shareholding, capital or registered address.
Bangladesh Bank and BIDA reporting
FDI inflow reporting, remittance and repatriation approvals, and the supporting documentation your bank will actually accept.
Statutory audit coordination
Auditor appointment, schedules prepared, queries answered — the audit closed on time rather than in the final week.
Statutory records and company secretarial
Board minutes, resolutions and statutory registers kept current, so a diligence request does not turn into an archaeology project.
