Together we optimize your company’s financial performance based upon biblical principles
“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, ‘This person began to build and wasn’t able to finish.’"
Budget and keep track of your costs - Luke 14:28-30.
“The rich rule over the poor, and
the borrower is slave to the lender."
Manage debt - Proverbs 22:7.
"The wise store up choice food and olive oil,
but fools gulp theirs down."
Build up some reserves - Proverbs 21:20.
Our Approach
We partner with clients every step of the process, working together to:
Meet with you to assess your major areas of pain and opportunity - For some clients, simply getting accurate financial reporting is a need. Other clients benefit substantially from forward-facing financial models and budgets. Having a strategically minded financial advisor to discuss his or her business with is helpful at the onset.
Identify which service package(s) are best for you - View our Services page for information on our Bookkeeper, Controller, CFO, and Projects packages. Set the benchmark - Since our mission is to optimize your financial performance, we will use prior year net income as a benchmark from which to measure and improve upon. Set up a plan of attack - We will determine what you, your staff, and ourselves need to do in order to accomplish our mission. We will use web-based project management tools, if desired, to track progress and completion of deliverables. Execute on the plan - We will use a variety of time tested financial management strategies, as well as develop some creative strategies. Measure progress - As we optimize your financial performance, you should be seeing an improvement in your net income.Affiliations
Core Values
The team at Barba CFO operates out of firm convictions built around our core values. This is the best way to understand who we are.
Sincere: We shall think of ourselves with sober judgment, humbly acknowledging our failures and successes, strengths and weaknesses. We shall act with a sincere heart towards one another at all times. We shall come along side each other, without judgment to fearlessly and lovingly speak the truth.
Encouraging: As we strive to act according to these values, know that there will be times where the forces beat us down and make us weary. We shall all use these times as an opportunity to share encouragement into one another’s hearts. Responsive: We are bound to constantly be faced with all sorts of problems, challenges, and pain. While it is easy to run away from these forces, we shall instead embrace these challenges with our creativity, talents, and core values. Vigor: No matter what we are doing - caring for loved ones, working, or participating in fellowship with others - we are here to serve others with love and vigor. While working at Barba CFO, our hearts shall be focused on vigorously serving others with the talents that God has given us. Accountable: Each team member shall be held accountable for their performance and adherence to these core values. We shall hold each other accountable, and allow others to hold ourselves accountable. Noble: Our team members shall lovingly be committed to carrying out all actions with the highest moral and ethical values. While acting in a noble way may not always result in the best short term financial gains, acting with a noble heart will keep our spirit from destruction, and result in the greatest long term abundance. Teamwork: Our actions and attitudes shall be focused on serving people in order to maximize team wealth. This team wealth shall enable us to further foster growth and progress, so we may maximize our opportunities to be a faithful servant.What We've Heard
While working with our clients, we've found the following needs emerge. Do these sound familiar?
My business is experiencing painful layoffs, mounting debt, inordinate amount of risk, and defaulting on obligations. Calls from angry creditors keep coming. What can I do?
My financial statements tell me nothing. They're too broad. Why are my costs out of control?
My business is plagued with slow processes and is manually intensive. Human error and the inability to utilize staff beyond menial tasks is costing us a fortune!
