Office of the CFO
Also known as OCFO, Finance Operating System
Definition
Office of the CFO is the finance function as an operating system, not just a person. It includes FP&A, accounting cadence, board reporting, KPI definitions, ARR/MRR rules, forecast process, cash visibility, systems, and decision support.
An Office of the CFO engagement is needed when the company does not just need advice; it needs finance infrastructure that management and the board can trust.
That usually means stabilizing definitions, closing cadence, reporting ownership, forecast inspection, and board-pack logic before hiring becomes the main answer.
