In 2013, the Virtual CFO Group Australia was established, formerly known as 3S CFO Group. Our Founder Colin Wright saw emerging technologies as an opportunity to deliver significant value to a range of small and medium-sized businesses in a virtual capacity. Technical advances in cloud based management systems, and a move toward outsourcing key finance functions, enabled us to serve SMEs with CFO virtual services. We provide a range of financial accounting and management services that allow organisations to outsource or add targeted capability to their existing finance function. We enable access to skills and capabilities in tailored service offerings that may otherwise be out of reach for SMEs.
