Background:
Our parent, The Energy CFO, is a Fractional CFO Services firm established in 2013 to help businesses accelerate their growth and take them to the next level by providing access to experienced CFO (Chief Financial Officer) leadership that is not typically available to small and medium-sized companies (SMBs) and their owners. Basically, our CFO/Owner wanted to level the playing field for private business owners against corporate giants and open the insider doors for much-needed industry disrupters. Very quickly, she also realized there was a need for the firm to expand its Shared CFO Service concept to include Interim CFO Services, Fractional CFO Services (also known as Part-Time CFO), Business Management Consulting, and Virtual CFO Services that complement and essentially wrap a company’s accounting providers.
In 2015, The Energy CFO began diversifying into life sciences, biotechnology, and healthcare manufacturing-related industries. Since then, we have worked for executives running regenerative medicine, tissue distribution, stem cell manufacturing, medical devices, and family physician practices. Today we have a mix of clients - small and large. What we enjoy most is learning about new industries.
As in all journeys, new paths lead to new opportunities. In the summer of 2019, The Energy CFO launched The Healthcare CFO division. It incorporates a carve out of the life sciences and healthcare work from The Energy CFO, along with a one-of-a-kind Physician CFO Service we developed at the request of healthcare experts to help address large industry gaps in the financial management of independent physician practices (specifically family physician practices with annual revenues of $3 Million to $15 Million).
