What is a Virtual CFO?

A Virtual CFO (vCFO) is a fractional finance executive who provides CFO-level strategic guidance, covering cash flow management, financial modelling, investor reporting, and funding readiness, without the full-time employment cost. For Sri Lankan SMEs, a resident CFO commands LKR 300,000-600,000/month in salary and benefits. WinCore Virtual CFO services deliver the same strategic finance capability from LKR 45,000/month: board-ready monthly packs, 13-week rolling cash forecasts, IFRS compliance oversight, and direct access to an ICASL-qualified adviser.

Looking for the operational layer beneath the CFO? Combine the vCFO engagement with our accounting and management reporting desk and our payroll and statutory compliance team for a single integrated finance back-office.

What's Included

What our virtual CFO service includes

Everything you need for professional service delivery with no hidden costs or surprises.

Financial Strategy & Planning

Annual budget, 3-year P&L model, and scenario planning, so your leadership team makes capital allocation decisions with numbers, not instinct.

Cash Flow Management

13-week rolling cash forecast with weekly receipts-to-payments mapping, so you act on a cash gap 6 weeks before it hits, not the day it does.

Board-Level Management Reporting

Monthly CFO packs: P&L analysis, KPI dashboards, variance commentary, and forward-looking projections.

Investor & Lender Reporting

Investor-grade financial reports, covenant compliance packages, and capital raise support materials.

Tax Planning & Structuring

Corporate tax efficiency planning, Sri Lankan transfer pricing guidance, and holding structure advisory.

Finance Team Leadership

Manage your finance team, set their output standards, and raise their technical capability. Reducing errors and the need for outside fixes.

Audit Readiness & Compliance

Pre-audit reconciliation, control review, and auditor query management, giving you a clean audit file and fewer surprises at sign-off.

Finance Systems Implementation

Select the right accounting system, manage its implementation, and redesign your close process, so books close by day 5, not day 15.

What you get every month

Concrete monthly Virtual CFO scope (no vague retainers)

WinCore vCFO engagements are intentionally specific. Each monthly cycle delivers the same five operational artefacts so the founder, the board, and the bank know exactly what arrives and when:

  1. Board-ready monthly accounts. Reviewed P&L, balance sheet, and cash-flow statement against budget and prior year, with a written CFO commentary page that names variances and flags forward risks.
  2. 13-week rolling cash forecast. Refreshed each month with weekly granularity, covering receipts, payroll, supplier payments, statutory remittances, and bank covenant headroom mapped against opening cash.
  3. KPI dashboard. Five to eight finance and operating KPIs tailored to the business: gross margin, payroll cost ratio, debtor days, runway, EBITDA, and customer concentration. Trended monthly, not just point-in-time.
  4. Statutory and compliance status pack. Up-to-date snapshot of VAT, APIT, EPF/ETF, corporate tax (SET / final), and ROC filing status. No audit surprises at year end.
  5. One scheduled CFO meeting. 60-90 minutes with the founder / leadership team to walk through the pack, decide actions, and document them in a short minute, attended by the named WinCore CFO partner.

Quarterly, this expands into a budget reforecast and a strategic review. Annually, it expands into the year-end statutory accounts handover, audit liaison, and the next-year operating plan.

When the stakes are higher

Fundraising, investor reporting, and audit readiness

WinCore vCFO engagements scale up, without renegotiating the engagement letter, for three high-stakes scenarios that founders cannot afford to fumble:

  • Fundraising support. Investor financial model (3-year P&L, balance sheet, cash-flow); diligence data room curation; covenant and term-sheet review; investor Q&A coverage during diligence; post-close investor reporting cadence design.
  • Audit readiness. Pre-audit clean-up; reconciliation and ledger hygiene; auditor query handling; control-environment narrative for the audit file; year-on-year movement explanations.
  • Bank and lender meetings. Loan-application financials; covenant compliance reporting; banker presentation packs; refinancing strategy advisory.

In all three scenarios, the WinCore vCFO partner attends the meeting in person or by video. Investors, auditors, and bankers consistently rate this presence as one of the most valuable parts of the engagement.

Who actually does the work

Led by Thilina Rodrigo, FCMA (CIMA). Fractional, not rotating

Every Virtual CFO engagement is led personally by Thilina Rodrigo, FCMA (CIMA), Head of BPO & Virtual CFO Services at WinCore. You meet the same CFO partner every month. Not a rotating panel, not a junior covering for a senior. That continuity is the entire point of fractional CFO services in the first place.

Beneath the partner-level review, day-to-day reporting and monthly close support is delivered by the Colombo finance desk. The CFO commentary, board presence, and strategic guidance are partner-delivered. Read Thilina's bio →

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our service

What is a Virtual CFO?▾
A Virtual CFO (also called a fractional or part-time CFO) is an experienced finance executive who works with your business on a part-time or project basis. You get CFO-level strategy, reporting, and leadership without the cost of a full-time hire (typically LKR 300,000-600,000/month for an in-house CFO in Sri Lanka).
How many hours per month does a Virtual CFO work?▾
WinCore Virtual CFO engagements are scoped to your needs. Typically 10 to 20 hours per month for a growing SME, scaling up during fundraising rounds, audit periods, or strategic inflection points. You pay only for what you use.
Is a Virtual CFO suitable for my stage of business?▾
Virtual CFO services are most impactful for businesses with LKR 50M+ annual revenue that have outgrown their bookkeeper but are not ready to hire a full-time CFO. Typical clients include fast-growing SMEs, investor-backed startups, family businesses preparing for succession, and businesses expanding internationally.
Can the Virtual CFO attend board meetings or investor calls?▾
Yes. Board meeting attendance, investor Q&A sessions, bank presentations, and audit committee meetings are included in the engagement scope. Your Virtual CFO represents the finance function with full knowledge of your business.
Does WinCore handle RAMIS and Sri Lankan statutory compliance?▾
Absolutely. RAMIS filings, EPF/ETF statutory submissions, VAT compliance, and corporate income tax are covered as standard within the Virtual CFO engagement, coordinated with your WinCore accounting team or your own in-house accountants.
How quickly can we start?▾
Work starts within 3-5 business days, beginning with an initial financial diagnostic, and full handover takes 4-6 weeks. We provide a structured onboarding checklist so nothing is missed before your first monthly close under the engagement.
