About    
 

Priscilla Chura founded the Small Biz CFO consultancy practice in 2004 to provide small business owners with the hands-on CFO/Controller and financial & managerial accounting services needed to run a profitable business.

In September 2009 she added a bookkeeping services division to ensure that clients will get quality, supervised bookkeeping services.

"Often, before I can address a client's CFO/Controller level issues, there's a significant amount of bookkeeping work that needs to be done to get the books to accurately reflect the financial picture of the business. It's not cost-effective for clients to have me do this work, but I do need to be involved. By providing and overseeing basic bookkeeping services, whether it's with their staff or mine, I'm able to provide value-added services beyond bookkeeping."

Chura takes pride in bringing a high level of ethics and integrity to every engagement; she cares deeply about her clients’ businesses and always looks out for their best interest - above her own.

Because of her relevant small business, financial & operational management background and expertise, Chura understands first-hand the unique challenges and opportunities facing small businesses. She developed the customized CFO-Profit-Ability approach that is practical, resourceful and efficient.

The Small Biz CFO-Profit-Ability approach:

  • Plan– I create customized financial business plans, budgets and cash flow forecasts to help you make informed decisions.
  • Review – I start by conducting an operational and financial assessment. As with any roadmap, you need to know where you are in order to get to where you want to go.
  • Organize – I organize financial statements to be more meaningful and to better reflect the operational activities of your business. I streamline financial processes and procedures for operational effectiveness which inevitably reduces costs.
  • Fix– I operate as your CFO/Controller and provide hands-on solutions on a contract basis. I help straighten out the books, implement financial controls and work with you to get the right people and systems in place. I’m always on the lookout for ways to save you money and/or cut unnecessary costs.
  • Inform– I keep you totally informed, throughout the entire process, about what I think needs to be done, get your permission to proceed and keep you in the loop as to the progress being made.
  • Train– I strongly believe in knowledge transfer and will train and mentor you and your staff to be as self-sufficient as you want to be.
  • Ability – This hands-on approach affords you the ability to re-focus on other important aspects of your business and get back to what you love to do and do best - such as spending more of your valuable time on marketing, sales, product development, production, strategic alliances, etc. instead of struggling with necessary, yet often dreaded, financial and accounting matters.

“Working with Priscilla on my financial business plan was one of the best investments I made in my business. Beyond the nitty-gritty of getting the numbers in place, Priscilla’s contribution as a thought-leader continues to be invaluable to me. As a small business owner, finding someone with whom to think strategically about the business is often a significant challenge. Our work together provided me with greater clarity on the business, opportunities and strategic direction. I am deeply grateful and only wish I had gotten her involved much earlier in the process.”

"Small Biz CFO helped me to understand the financial impact of various 'what if' scenarios on my pricing strategy. It was extremely enlightening. I heartily recommend working with Priscilla on any financial project; you’ll be happy you did!"
