Finance Consulting · Govern
We provide part-time CFO capability — management reporting, cash and funding oversight, controls and board support — on a defined number of days a month with responsibilities agreed explicitly. The remit sits above the bookkeeping and statutory layer rather than replacing it, so your accountants continue to handle accounts and filings while we provide the finance leadership and hold that work to standard. A deliberate part of the engagement is developing the internal finance team so that dependence on us reduces over time. It matters for businesses that have outgrown bookkeeping but cannot yet justify a full-time CFO, and for those whose founders are still doing the finance work themselves.
In short
Virtual CFO services provide senior finance leadership on a part-time basis to businesses that do not yet need, or cannot yet justify, a full-time CFO. The aim is to build internal capability, not to create a permanent dependency.
Start a conversationWhat we do
We own the integrity and timeliness of management reporting and the period-end close. The board gets information it can rely on, delivered on a predictable timetable rather than whenever it happens to be ready. Over time we build the discipline into the team so the standard holds without us driving it.
We oversee cash forecasting, banking relationships and the funding requirement as the business grows. The intent is that cash pressures and funding needs are anticipated well ahead rather than discovered at the last moment. This is often the single most valuable part of the role for a growing business.
We ensure financial controls and statutory obligations are met, working alongside your existing advisers rather than displacing them. Someone senior needs to be accountable for controls holding and filings being made, which founders rarely have time to be. We provide that oversight and coordinate the specialists who do the regulated work.
We support the board with analysis and judgement, and deliberately develop the finance team so that reliance on us falls over time. The measure of a good virtual CFO engagement is that the internal capability grows rather than that the dependency deepens. We plan for the handover from the start.

When this work helps
How an engagement runs
Understand the decision, the financial context, and how finance currently operates. We establish exactly what question the engagement must answer, so a business-case review and a process redesign are not confused with one another.
Review the case, processes, controls, and reporting against what the organisation needs to rely on. We report where the numbers and processes are dependable and where they rest on assumptions that will not hold under pressure.
Set out the financial approach, process design, control set, and reporting model. Definitions, ownership, and controls are documented so the improvement does not depend on us remaining involved.
Support implementation, then track cost and benefit against what was approved. We measure realised value against the criteria agreed at the outset, so the decision is held to account rather than forgotten.
Where we work
Fidova provides finance consulting from Delhi, India, and works with organisations internationally, including group structures with entities, currencies, and reporting obligations in more than one country.
Engagements run in English, are scheduled around your time zone, and can be delivered remotely end to end, with on-site time planned where a phase genuinely benefits from being in the room.
Related services
Accounting advisory addresses complex accounting treatment, policy choices and the application of reporting standards. It supports the position taken; preparation and audit sign-off remain with management and the auditors.
Tax and regulatory advisory addresses the tax and regulatory implications of business structure, transactions and operations. We are not a tax practice: we identify issues and coordinate specialists; we do not give formal tax opinions or file returns.
Internal financial controls work designs and tests the controls that keep financial reporting accurate and assets protected. A smaller set of controls that genuinely operates is worth more than an exhaustive matrix that is never properly tested.
