Freelance Cfo

I've got a Bangkok-based start-up, about 18 months old, soon to be 14 people, that's growing like gangbusters. I've got the fundamentals in place of business finance - bookkeepers, audits, etc. for both my Thai and Hong Kong businesses but I could really use a freelance CFO for two functions;

Look at our business processes and make sure we're buttoned up. For instance I'm never 100% sure all clients are being billed ever month and payments are all properly recorded. As the number of clients on recurring billing climbs past a few hundred this is going to be critical. We're maturing our systems but they could use sharp eye watching out and helping the Thai staff.

Meet with me once a month for a review of the financial statements from both companies. It would be a good discipline to have an outsider look at what we're doing, suggest improvements, point out problems. If we did this once a month over lunch for an hour or two it would be really useful.

I don't have a WP for this position. I'm thinking this might only be 10 hours a month - maybe the first month a little more to "audit" things and understand our business. Perhaps a retired CPA would be nice who wouldn't mind having some fun with a small start-up. Or maybe you're just under-utilized in your day job and want more do to and some extra money. Or maybe this is your business - consulting.

You could be Thai or ex-pat. If you're ex-pat some Thai would be nice but not required.

If you're interested let me know and give me some background, references and rates.

thanks,
