Let’s go over some of the top questions from prospective clients:

Q: “What will my Consero Global team look like?”

A: You’ll have one dedicated VP of Finance with 15 to 20 years of experience overseeing and managing the accounting team assigned to you.

Your team is customized to your role and business needs, and every member of your team is a degreed accountant, with 70% of our team possessing a post graduate degree in accounting.

Q: “How do you understand the nuances of my business?”

A: Every business has things that make them unique. We come to the table with proven systems and processes that work for all companies, and then customize according to your unique needs.

Typically, the most unique aspect of a business is its revenue model. That’s why we work with you to define an optimized process for managing all of your revenue from quote to cash.

Q: “How do I know that everything is getting done?”

A: During the implementation of Consero, we work with you to identify all the tasks that need to be completed on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Then, we systemize everything into workflows and track all items, so you have total transparency regarding what your team is working on. Our clients have said that this gives them more visibility and control than what they’d previously had with their in-house team.

Q: “With you guys doing so much, what will I be working on?”

A: This depends on your role.

If you’re a CEO, we can manage your accounting and finance department completely, all the way down to basic bookkeeping.

If you’re a CFO or Controller, we can support all accounting functions below you, enabling you to focus on the strategic aspects of your role.

Whatever your role or business needs may be, Consero Global can help.
