Founded by a Big Eight Arthur Andersen veteran, with a wealth of first hand experience in a wide range of businesses, we know all about CFOs. With over 30 years experience in advertising, consumer electronics, semiconductors, communications, software and display technology, we are very conscious of the challenges facing the tech industry over the growth cycle. From fund-raising, product design, IP protection, team building, market positioning, channel development, and communications with company stake holders, the CFO provides a vital role in evaluation, networking, compliance, strategic planning, communication and business control and management.

The CFO is a demanding role requiring high level accounting skills, an ability to keep up to date with constantly changing rules and regulations, international outlooks, a wide network of specialist partner relationships, a gift for relating financial issues to the needs of the underlying business, and a determination to succeed, whatever it takes. Naturally, this makes a good CFO rare, and expensive, and therefore typically hired only by larger or public companies.

Through our contract CFO service you can have access to as much or as little CFO as you need now, with the ability to ramp up as your business develops until you are ready for a full time CFO. Even from an early stage, it is possible to make serious mistakes in structuring and developing your business and infrastructure which can be costly and time-consuming to fix later. An investment in a little CFO service now could mean big returns later.

There are many small consulting firms offering financial services but Aargo is different, believing in a total business philosophy for everything we do. We are not just accountants, but business partners. We have actually worked as general managers and CEOs and understand what it means and what it takes to make a profit and have to satisfy investors. We specialise in real live business solutions rather than theoretical finance!

Let Aargo serve you as your CFO while you get on with what you do best, developing your business and building the value of your company.
