Expense reduction should be a priority for every fractional CFO – but where do you start?

We all know the old moniker, a dollar saved is a dollar earned. While that’s certainly true, it can be easier said than done. For many fractional CFOs, working as an outsourced expert, you don’t necessarily have the authority to cut costs in every area of the business. Likewise, cutting services and staff isn’t always a long-term solution to help your client. Many fractional CFOs focus on revenue growth for this reason.

There’s nothing wrong with focusing on growth; most businesses want to grow. However, the longstanding knowledge many cost reduction experts know is that as little as a 5% decrease in costs can represent as much as a 45% sales increase.

Why is this the case? Simply, the effort in growing sales makes it less profitable than cutting costs. The human resource hours, marketing spend, production costs, all of that adds up and eats into the profit of a sales increase. Decreasing costs, on the other hand, when done correctly, shouldn’t have consequences.

So how do you implement effective cost reduction strategies for your clients without cutting staff or services?
