Maximize your business potential with a Cross-Border CFO.
Our team runs our own cross-border business, with accounting expertise that can transform your business.
CFO, Controller, and Accounting Services for Businesses Operating Across Borders.
Our CFO services ensure longevity for your business and financial advice only our team of international tax and accounting experts can offer. Our services ensure expert assistance with tax treaties, reporting, asset and liability management, strategy, and accountability designed around the unique needs of businesses operating across borders.
Our Cross-Border CFO services are tailored to your business, industry, and organizational needs. Our initial consultation helps you get a feel for our services and working style, while we work to understand your needs.
Tailor your services to suit the goals of your business, while satisfying stakeholders and increasing buy-in.
Advice built through expertise and experience operating through multiple tax systems, the treaties (if any) between them, and how to structure, operate, and optimize your finance department for success.
Our CFO services ensure you get the consulting you need, whether it’s regulation compliance, international tax strategy, eliminating duplicate tax scenarios, managing sales tax and foreign investments, or other cross-border needs.
Working across borders multiplies the risks within your accounting and finance department. We perform full risk analysis and introduce checks and balances to decrease risk of fees, fines, and audits.
Through industry monitoring, we design and generate ongoing reports with analysis and recommendations, delivering stakeholders with the information needed to make key business decisions.
Our team oversees your controller, current team and procedures, implementing checks and balances to ensure compliance and mitigate risk. This includes software needs and process oversight.
Budgets and forecasts designed around industry, country, spending trends, and stakeholder needs, including projections and potential impact analysis of opportunities.
We help you understand the full scope of your financial picture and its implications, and generate financial packages attuned to board goals and initiatives, and offer board meeting attendance and support
Our consultants guide your team while analyzing financial data to develop a strategy that matches your business goals. We also introduce accountability to ensure the department runs in an efficient, compliant manner.
Our CFOs assist with raising capital, investor and banking management, and presenting compelling data required to secure capital and keep investors committed. We also handle acquisition preparations and analysis.
“Cross-border businesses face greater challenges and higher regulation burdens than most. That’s why I specialize in them.”

Oversight and management across all financial departments. Our reporting and initiatives are strategy-led, built on best practices, and keep your stakeholders growth-focused while holding your financial team accountable. We know this is a big investment for you, which is why we prioritize client relationships and the cross-border industry knowledge that makes your investment worthwhile.
Risk mitigation, introducing checks and balances, and understanding reporting is critical for any cross-border business. Our outsourced CFO service ensures budgeting, financial, projections, and reporting designed around the requirements and regulations of the countries in which you operate, while also working around what will be impactful to your stakeholders and board.
CFO services are tailored to the needs of the client, which means your cost will be customized, too. The size, scale, and operating countries of your business can impact this as well. Businesses typically budget around half the cost of a full-time CFO for a general outsourced CFO, though cross-border expertise can be more expensive.
The best way to get an accurate understanding of cost is a consultation, which is also an opportunity to ask any questions, understand our approach, and determine if Akif CPA is the right CFO service for you.
