The FD Centre, the market leading provider of part-time FDs in the UK, has successfully launched its sister-company, The CFO Centre, in Australia, providing part-time CFOs (Australian equivalent to UK FDs) to ambitious Australian businesses.

Headed up Managing Director Steve Copplin, the CFO Centre already has established operations in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth with a Melbourne office scheduled to open in the coming months.

Mirroring the business model of the FD Centre in the UK, Copplin saw a need to provide Chief Financial Officer expertise to many of the organisations he has been working with in Australia and, with the support of founder and CEO of the FD Centre, Colin Mills, established the CFO centre in 2009 to provide high quality experienced finance professionals to the business community.

Speaking of the CFO Centre, Colin Mills says; "Getting the right team in place and understanding the Australian market place has been critical to the initial success of the CFO Centre. Both Steve (Copplin) and I recognised the Australian business market operated in a very similar way to that of the UK. We therefore felt the business model could translate well over here."

The CFO Centre has 10 of the best Australian CFOs in the team, with many bringing with them a strong experience of helping UK businesses set-up and expand into Australia and other Far Eastern countries including China. This supplements the skills of the FD Centre in the UK, where a number of part time FDs have excellent experience of dealing with businesses in China, and the Far East.

Every one of the CFO Centre's Chief Financial Officers is used to "getting their hands dirty" and has live experience working as a CFO with specific knowledge of core sectors such as retail, professional services, technology, media, telecoms, services, manufacturing, mining, agriculture, distribution, travel and leisure, recruitment, FMCG, charities and many more.  They work hand in hand with clients on finance issues and wider strategic activity.

The CFO Centre is committed to helping Australian businesses maximise profits, realise their goals, work through complex financial situations and offer support for, or even take away completely, the running of everyday financial management.

For businesses with aspirations to expand into the Australian or Asian markets, talking to a CFO from the CFO Centre should be the first point of contact. As a leading provider of part-time CFOs in Australia, the CFO Centre can help businesses achieve their strategic objectives. For more information visit www.thecfocentre.com.au
