Engage an External Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to Support Your Business

Engage a Chief Financial Officer for Your Business

Effective financial management is one of the key factors behind any successful business. Blaze Business & Legal’s external Chief Financial Officer (CFO) services, led by Shannon Drew, deliver expert financial guidance to businesses in transition.

Our services are ideal for stabilising cash flow, planning for growth, and improving financial performance without the cost of a full-time hire.

Also called a “Fractional CFO” and an “Outsourced CFO”, these short-term engagements can be the ideal way for you to get your business on more solid footing without the months-long recruitment efforts that would otherwise be required.

Why Choose a Fractional CFO?

  • Financial Clarity
    Gain a clear understanding of your business’s financial health through expert analysis.

  • Strategic Growth
    Plan for expansion with accurate budgeting and forecasting.

  • Cost Efficiency
    Access high-level financial expertise on a flexible basis.

  • Funding Support
    Receive guidance on securing loans, grants, or investor funding.

Services We Provide

Our fractional CFO services cover a wide range of financial management needs:

  • Cash Flow Management
    Ensure financial stability with accurate cash flow tracking and forecasting.

  • Strategic Planning
    Develop long-term financial strategies aligned with your business objectives.

  • Performance Analysis
    Evaluate financial metrics to identify opportunities for growth and address inefficiencies.

  • Funding Support
    Assist with investor relations, loan applications, and grant funding processes.

  • Training for Financial Teams
    Upskill junior financial staff to prepare them for leadership roles.

How We Support Your Transition

Our CFO services aim to empower your business with the tools and knowledge needed to manage finances effectively:

  • Mentorship
    Junior finance staff are mentored and trained to step into senior positions.

  • Scalable Solutions
    Flexible engagement models adapt to your business’s evolving needs.

  • Long-Term Planning
    We focus on building internal financial expertise to ensure sustainability.

Why Blaze Business & Legal Stands Out

Shannon Drew brings decades of financial expertise to his role as CFO.

His approach ensures:

  • Immediate impact on financial stability and performance.
  • Tailored strategies to address your specific financial challenges.
  • Empowerment of internal teams to manage finances independently.

Testimonials

“My construction business was slipping until a mate told us about Blaze Business & Legal. Now we’re kicking major goals!”

J. P. – Sunshine Coast Excavation Company

“We haven’t met any other lawyer or adviser who understands business structuring the way Rachelle Hare and Shannon Drew do.

Blaze Business & Legal fills a gap that business owners like me often don’t know is there. Accountants do our tax, lawyers draft a document if you ask for it, and banks expect your structure to be sorted before they will lend.

Rachelle and Shannon stepped back and looked at the whole structure of my business. They saw where things didn’t line up properly. They pointed out the risks. And they showed me how the structure was holding my business back from growing and getting a bank to lend us money. Then they worked with me and my Accountant to straighten it all out.”
