Engaging Colfax vs Employing an In-House Finance Manager
Our team of finance experts work complimentary to your existing finance and leadership team members, providing assistance when needed and saving you significant cost when compared to hiring a full-time senior finance professional in-house.
Colfax
We're continually investing to develop and enhance relevant skillsets.
We bring you the insights from working with a broad portfolio of businesses.
We can quickly be engaged and put to work for you right now.
Depending on the services you require, our fees can be less than $1,000 + GST per month.
For 75% less than an in-house employee, you get help with many of the most commercially critical aspects of your finances.
In-House
Considerable time and expense are needed to keep employee skills current.
Gaining fresh perspectives from in-house employees is often a challenge.
Hiring senior finance professionals is usually an expensive lengthy process.
In-house senior finance professionals are often more than $12,000 / month ($150,000 / year).
Financial benefits generated from in-house finance professionals are often more than offset by their cost, leaving many SMEs worse off.
