CFO as a Service in Luxembourg, finance leadership on demand.

An outsourced CFO (CFO as a Service) is finance leadership made available on a shared-time basis: we take on management reporting, consolidation, budgeting, treasury and the dialogue with banks and auditors, without the cost of a full-time finance director. FSL drives reporting, consolidation and accounting production; the statutory audit remains reserved to a réviseur d'entreprises agréé, with whom we coordinate.

In short

CFO as a Service is an arrangement whereby a firm makes the skills of a finance director (steering, consolidated reporting, management control, treasury, stakeholder relations) available to a group on a recurring, calibrated basis, without internal recruitment. It is aimed primarily at industrial family groups and growing multi-subsidiary holdings.

Key takeaway

  • CFO as a Service gives access to group finance leadership without a full-time hire.
  • It combines management reporting, consolidation, treasury and board preparation.
  • FSL drives financial production; the statutory audit remains reserved to a réviseur d'entreprises agréé.

Who this is for

  • Industrial family groups without a structured finance function
  • Holdings and SOPARFIs owning several subsidiaries to consolidate
  • Mid-caps and scale-ups structuring or raising funds
  • Buyers and owners preparing a succession or a disposal

What we do

  • Monthly management reporting and steering dashboard (KPIs)
  • Group consolidation and periodic consolidated reporting
  • Budget, cash-flow forecast and variance monitoring
  • Board pack preparation and support to board meetings
  • Bank relations, financing and audit coordination
  • Set-up and reliability of tools (ERP, CPM consolidation software)

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is an outsourced CFO?
It is finance leadership made available on a shared-time basis: management reporting, consolidation, budgeting, treasury and relations with banks and auditors, billed recurrently rather than as a full-time salary.
From what size is it relevant?
As soon as a group owns several subsidiaries to consolidate, prepares a fundraise or a succession, or has no dedicated finance director but needs reliable reporting to steer.
Does the outsourced CFO perform the statutory audit?
No. The statutory audit is reserved to a réviseur d'entreprises agréé. FSL prepares and validates the accounts and reporting, then coordinates the file with the auditor.
How do CFO as a Service and consolidation fit together?
Consolidation is one of the key deliverables of the outsourced CFO: we produce the consolidated accounts and group reporting, then use them for steering and board advice.
Do you work with our existing tools?
Yes. We integrate with your ERP and, where relevant, a CPM consolidation tool, or help you implement and stabilise it.
