The backbone of any business operation is its accounting department. Management and sales may do an outstanding job of identifying opportunities and securing new business sources, but accurate reporting of the results of their efforts is crucial to a business' success. Every Fortune 500 company has a team of CPAs and MBAs on staff to ensure accurate financial reporting and provide meaningful analysis of those reports, and a CFO to provide financial insight, guidance and direction for the company.

Unfortunately, not all businesses have the resources of a Fortune 500 company, and the accounting department is often the first area limited by lack of resources. Frequently, cost concerns drive these decisions - management determines that retaining a full-time CFO whose expertise is only needed several times a month or less is not cost-effective, or that it is easier and more cost-effective to distribute accounting responsibilities to existing administrative staff rather than hiring full-time qualified bookkeepers.

However, many business owners are realizing that, while they cannot afford a full-time, fully-qualified accounting department, they also cannot afford to do without the level of expertise or service professional accounting departments provide if they are to remain competitive in today's marketplace.

That's why Dyer & Associates, P.C. has developed a solution to this business dilemma with our Surrogate CFO™ services. Companies now have an outsourced solution for their accounting needs - everything from negotiating a bank loan to processing the company payroll, freeing company personnel to focus on more productive duties. The best part of the Surrogate CFO™ program is that companies only pay for the level of service they need and only for the time required.
