Jonathan Quinn, Owner, Geckota I didn't know what I didn't know when it came to my company finance function. I hadn't fully appreciated the potential upside to bringing on a part-time CFO. As is the case with many business owners, I was spending a good portion of my time doing things that needed to be done, but those weren't really the things I wanted to be doing! Taking on a part-time CFO was in part to help grow the business and get it to the next level and in part about freeing me up to choose how I would spend my time. Our CFO, Mitch, plays a major role in the business running the company finances, but in reality, his role is much more all-encompassing. Mitch has been there and done it and just 'gets business'. I have always felt that Mitch has my back and is fully embedded in the business, clear on the direction we are headed in and fully committed to helping us get there. He's very responsive, always there when I need him and he supports me as well as the rest of the team. He takes 'ownership' of the financial operations and frees me up to work on the projects I want to work on. He has helped me build a successful business that gives me the freedom to choose how I spend my time. #cfo #thecfocentre

Appreciated this quote that speaks to the role of CFO as storyteller: "Learn to be a good storyteller, because the CFO is both the interpreter of financial history and the guide to future results." #cfo #betterfinance #futureoffinance

CFO On Call is thrilled to announce Aaron Hubka as the newest addition to our partnership team in Victoria. With an illustrious career spanning senior and C-suite roles across various industries including manufacturing, construction, finance, IT, defence, aerospace, as well as government grants. Aaron brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the CFO On Call family. His expertise in driving commercial success through innovative financial leadership is unmatched, making him a valuable asset to any organization seeking to enhance its sustainability and operational efficiency, both locally and internationally. In the wake of recent bankruptcies and forced administrations, small to medium enterprises in the manufacturing and construction sectors in Australia, and particularly in Victoria, face significant challenges. To survive and thrive in this competitive landscape, these businesses need to focus on several key strategies: - Innovation and Diversification:  Exploring new markets and diversifying product lines can help mitigate risks associated with dependency on a single sector or customer base. - Leveraging Technology: Adopting advanced manufacturing technologies and digital tools can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality. - Skilled Labour and Training: Addressing the skilled labour shortage by investing in training and development programs, and exploring alternative hiring strategies, such as apprenticeships or partnerships with educational institutions. - Financial Management and Forecasting: Implementing robust cash flow management and forecasting practices to improve financial health and sustainability. - Strategic Partnerships: Forming strategic partnerships with other businesses or government bodies can provide access to new markets, technologies, and financial resources. - Market Research and Customer Engagement: Continuously engaging with customers and conducting market research to understand evolving needs and trends, enabling quicker adaptation to market changes. - Regulatory Compliance and Sustainability: Ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations and adopting sustainable practices to meet the increasing demand for environmentally friendly products and services. - Competing with Multinationals: SMEs need to identify their unique value propositions and leverage local market knowledge and agility to compete effectively against multinational corporations involved in large infrastructure projects. By focusing on these strategies, SMEs operating in Victoria’s manufacturing and construction markets can navigate the current landscape, maintain sustainability, and pivot successfully into new products and services. Aaron’s insight will be instrumental, and his guidance will be crucial for businesses looking to be agile and adapt in this challenging environment.
