Is this for you?

Built for owners who need clearer numbers before the next big move.

YFC is a strong fit when financial decisions are getting bigger, but hiring a senior finance leader full-time does not yet make commercial sense.

  • Your business is growing and cash flow is becoming harder to predict
  • You are preparing for funding, acquisition, sale or a major operational change
  • You need better reporting than your current systems or bookkeeping can provide
  • You want a senior adviser who can challenge assumptions and guide action
Start with a practical review

Complete the quick form and get clear next steps.

Tell us where the pressure is showing up, cash flow, reporting, margins, systems or growth decisions. We will come back with a practical first conversation, not a sales script.

Client proof

Australian businesses trust YFC for practical advice, clearer reporting and calm financial leadership when decisions matter.

Kevin has helped me understand what those decisions translate to in dollars, and showed how small changes make big outcomes. Now understanding what I was missing is so empowering and valuable, I tell anyone I can about Kevin and what his team does.

Common questions

Questions before you book?

Clear answers on fit, commitment, location and what happens after you enquire.

What does a Virtual CFO actually do?

A Virtual CFO gives you senior financial leadership without hiring one full-time. That can include cash flow forecasting, reporting, budgeting, board packs, systems improvement, profitability work and strategic advice.

How is this different from bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping records what happened. Virtual CFO support helps you understand what the numbers mean, what to do next and how to make better commercial decisions.

Do I need to be based in Perth?

No. YFC is Perth-based and works with businesses across Australia. On-site support is available when it matters.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. The offer is designed for flexibility, so you can scale support up or down as your business changes.

What size business is this best for?

It is usually best suited to SMEs with growing complexity, typically around $1m to $20m in revenue, or businesses preparing for funding, exit, acquisition or operational change.

Will you work with our existing bookkeeper or accountant?

Yes. YFC can work alongside your current team to improve reporting, forecasting and decision support without disrupting what already works.

What happens in the free health check?

We discuss your current financial visibility, decision pressure points and what better CFO support could look like. You leave with clear next steps, even if you do not proceed.

How quickly can we start?

After the health check, YFC scopes the right level of support and agrees a practical starting rhythm with you.

Get control of the numbers before your next decision gets bigger.
