#About

About Lindsay Davis Ince

Armed with an MBA and over 20 years of finance expertise, I’ve partnered with businesses ranging from ambitious startups to global enterprises, navigating both domestic and international markets. Along the way, I’ve built a reputation as a finance strategist known for delivering growth through precise planning, innovative solutions, and strategic execution.

When I’m not crunching numbers or strategizing financial solutions, I love baking cookies with my daughter, traveling to new destinations, and indulging in life’s simple joys.

What is a Virtual CFO?

key benefits of a Virtual Finance Team

As one of the leaders in virtual finance technology and services we are uniquely qualified to help small business owners see the difference that having a CFO on their team can make.  If you would like to explore you options, request a consultation today.

Most people know what a bookkeeper is, and they know what a CFO is, when they work for a large company, but the idea of a  ”Virtual CFO” is new to most people.
 A Virtual CFO is a high level accounting and finance executive, who is able to split time between multiple businesses allowing them to benefit from the skills of a CFO, while sharing the cost with other business owners.  Until recently, this was not a practical option for most executives because of the time and expense of traveling between clients. Thanks to the advances in technology, it became possible for a CFO to work efficiently for multiple companies without having to travel from office to office. The trouble was that the cost of having the right computer system and security needed for remote access was still too high for most small businesses.
Now, thanks to cloud technology even small businesses can afford the services that allow for remote access by a Virtual CFO.  This means that a business that only needs a few hours a month of a CFO’s time can  now be a productive client for a CFO working remotely.
