Arthur Rothberg of CFO Edge discusses how using Outsourced Chief Financial Officer or Officers can help small and midsize businesses prosper and grow.

I used to work for a firm that outsourced IT Staff to mid-size businesses. Many businesses need experience from time to time that they do not need to have on their regular day to day staffs or sometimes they only need part time executive or high level technical help, not daily.

This can save a business a lot of money while incredibly boosting their talent and resource pools.

This is no different in the financial departments of smaller and mid-size companies.

I get a chance to sit down with Arthur Rothberg Founding Executive Director with CFO Edge to find out more about how your business can possibly lower the bottom line and still prosper, grow and have access to better and more professional resources as needed. –  JW
