MANAGEMENT QUESTIONS

We have a tax accountant, but need a financial partner.

Clarify whether you need an ongoing role to consider budgets, cash, investment and capital policy in addition to tax matters. First check the scope of your existing adviser’s engagement, then decide which missing functions belong with internal staff, BPO or a CFO.

YOUR CURRENT SITUATION

Does this sound familiar?

  • We discuss year-end accounts but not the next action.
  • We have no one to discuss financial plans or investment with.
  • Accounting, tax and management use different numbers.

Possible causes

The issue may be contractual scope, timing or unclear management questions, rather than an adviser’s ability. We identify existing support before adding capabilities.

ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Clear roles make the partnership work.

AureVia’s management BPO prepares information for decisions, while CFO support helps compare plans, funding and investments. Your company retains approval authority and responsibility for business decisions and execution. The exact work, deliverables and involvement are agreed in the engagement.

Fees are quoted individually after reviewing the work, transaction volume, state of records, number of businesses or entities, meeting frequency and required outputs. Initial setup, ongoing fees and additional-work conditions are clarified before the engagement.

Tax filings and tax advice are provided by separately engaged professionals, not by AureVia Inc. We coordinate with existing advisers where appropriate. Support does not guarantee financing approval, profit improvement or an increase in enterprise value.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

A decision in context

This example explains the approach. It is not a client case study or a claim about results.

In an illustrative company, the tax accountant handles filings and an internal employee gathers invoices. If next year’s hiring is the issue, BPO can prepare monthly information and the CFO can compare personnel costs and cash forecasts, subject to the agreed scope. Tax judgments remain with the tax accountant.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Common questions

How does a tax accountant differ from a CFO?

A tax accountant is a tax specialist. CFO describes a role in management decisions through finance. Some services overlap, so compare actual responsibilities and deliverables rather than titles alone.

Can we keep our existing tax accountant?

Yes. A complementary financial and management function can be considered while retaining your existing engagement. The parties must agree information sharing, roles and the order of review.
