About CFOMethods

CFOMethods was founded by alumni of KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and a founding member of a successful outsourcing company. After serving CFOs of Global 50 companies all the way to small, private companies it became clear that there was a void of Trusted Advisors to work with financial decision makers. There are many consulting companies that will sell you anything, but not many of them who work on a one-to-one basis with the CFO to help them make the best decisions regarding outsourcing and technology. Typically, ours is a one person team and not an army of expensive consultants eating up the clock.
