Why Us

Trusted by 100’s of Small Businesses

Running a successful business in Geelong, Torquay, or across the Surf Coast comes with a unique challenge: growth often happens fast — but access to senior financial leadership doesn’t always keep pace.

Many regional businesses reach a point where tax-focused accounting is no longer enough, yet hiring a full-time CFO feels premature or unnecessary.

That’s where a Virtual CFO delivers real value.

At Simic Financial, we provide hands-on Virtual CFO services to growing businesses across Geelong, Torquay, and the Surf Coast, acting as a true financial partner — not just an advisor you hear from once a year.

We’re proud to be the largest and most trusted CFO advisory firm in the region, and are locals ourselves!

What is a Virtual CFO?

A Virtual CFO gives you strategic financial leadership on-demand, without the cost or commitment of a full-time executive.

But this goes far beyond reports and numbers.

We help business owners:

  • Understand what’s really driving performance

  • Plan ahead with confidence, not guesswork

  • Make decisions backed by clear financial insight

While traditional accountants focus on compliance and history, we focus on strategy, foresight, and control — all year round.

Who We Support Across Geelong & the Surf Coast

Our Virtual CFO services are designed for established and scaling businesses with revenue between $1M and $50M, including:

  • Professional services and consulting firms

  • Start-ups and fast-growing regional businesses

  • Retail, wholesale, and hospitality operators

  • Founder-led companies without an in-house CFO

If you’re a Founder, CEO, or Managing Director looking for clarity, structure, and financial confidence — this service is built for you.

When a Virtual CFO Makes the Biggest Impact

Most businesses engage us when they experience challenges like:

  • Cash flow uncertainty despite strong sales

  • Limited visibility into real profitability

  • Financial decisions feeling reactive instead of planned

  • Growth without clear forecasting or structure

  • Reliance on accountants who only engage at tax time

These are normal growing pains — but left unresolved, they slow momentum and increase risk.

A Virtual CFO helps you move forward with certainty.
