ADAPTABLE AND EASY TO USE As a bespoke service, VFF offers the flexibility to suit a range of international organisations, such as global groups and listed multinationals, businesses expanding internationally and special purpose projects, such as joint ventures. It supports you with the resources and expertise to manage and report on highly complex transactions and ensure compliance across international tax and regulatory jurisdictions. VFF can be ideal for smaller enterprises expanding abroad. For example, you could run your business with either a reduced finance team or perhaps no finance team at all – saving you money and helping you focus on growth. Alternatively, by using our senior finance professionals and not recruiting an internal CFO, you could avoid the need to give up equity to attract key finance staff. As your business grows, the flexibility of VFF means you can avoid the burden and expense of growing your back office to cope, and instead concentrate on succeeding with new clients in new markets.
