Financial Expert David Johnston Explains Benefits of Part-Time CFOs for Smaller Biotechs

The demand for biotech CFOs has increased dramatically over the last few years. CFOs who fit the optimum profile for biotech companies, namely strong performers with a track record of demonstrable outcomes, sitting public CFO, IPO, and biotech industry experience, simply outpace supply.

Since a full-time CFO typically earns over $350,000 annually, startups and small firms with little funding often decide not to hire a CFO when they need one.

Former CFO David Johnston not only addresses your question on whether a part-time CFO is right for your firm but also lays out some compelling arguments in favor of this strategy. Here are some benefits of employing a part-time CFO for your biotech.

An Expert in the Resource You Must Have to Succeed

When trying to get off the ground or expand, cash flow problems are inevitable. You will probably require another investment round within the following 18–24 months, even if you have just successfully raised funds for your R&D.

While some businesses may try their hand at fundraising on their own, those with loftier goals should seek the expertise of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO). With a part-time CFO, you have access to your own private consultant.

Time to Do What you Do Best

A part-time CFO can handle relationships with partners, shareholders, lenders, and investors because they know everything there is to know about money and capital. As a bonus, this help will free up some time in your schedule so you can spend more time running the business.

Provide Expert Direction

Forecasting

Proper forecasting can result in a more solid business from the start in a small biotech. Taking advantage of a CFO’s financial expertise can assist a company in understanding profitable areas that should receive its attention, where to invest resources, how well the company has performed in the past, and how to steer its finances.

Tax Planning

Regardless of the size of your business, taxes can be a difficult process, but giving the responsibility to a CFO ensures proper ethical tax planning every year.

Cash Flow Management

For small businesses, managing cash flow effectively can be challenging, but it is essential to the overall financial health of a company. By monitoring and analyzing cash flow projections, evaluating how much cash a company now has, figuring out what it will need in the future, and prioritizing spending, a CFO may help manage and help maximize cash flow.

Risk Management

Risk management is one of the most important things a CFO does for a small business. This is because, with their financial knowledge and business experience, they can spot problems or possible problems before they happen.

David Johnston has been a senior financial leader for more than thirty years. Johnston was most recently the Chief Financial Officer at the oncology-focused biotech company ImmunoGen, Inc. in Waltham, Massachusetts. He is the owner of dbjconsulting LLC, which helps new life science businesses with money and strategy.

Corporate Law: The Basic Principles

San Francisco has long been thought of as a town a bit too far left of left. As James Hurysz and others remember, it’s had a long history of being liberal, free-flowing, and far less conservative than other locales. However, it’s also been a city of change, being the birthplace of the tech boom as well as the ancestral home of some of the most prolific and influential writers and artists in the 1960s and 1970s. Unfortunately, today, San Francisco is leaning so far off track, it has now triggered just as much of a hard reaction by pushing back. James Hurysz reflects on the same view as others on the outside; the city’s government has embraced the idea of non-enforcement to the point that homelessness, drugs, and crime have made the city unlivable for regular people and businesses. And that has pushed businesses to the point of something that is fundamental to American independence: a tax revolt. The frustration and anger of businesses in San Francisco aren’t restricted just to the City by the Bay, from what James Hurysz sees online. It’s been happening across the country in other locations with a similar attitude towards social leniency. Unfortunately, too much leniency has come with too much of a cost. Businesses are constantly being robbed or vandalized, customers threatened, and sidewalks soiled badly on a daily basis. Yet, when business owners beg the municipality for help and law enforcement, the most liberal cities have taken a “hands-off” approach. As a result, many businesses have gotten to the point where they are closing, leaving, and failing. Those ventures that have survived to date are drawing a line in the sand, refusing to pay any more in business taxes to get their cities’ attention. James Hurysz is not surprised or shocked. Cities are no different than any other organic development, argues James Hurysz. They thrive best with a balance. Clearly, the zenith of conservatism is a police state run by corporations, and the extreme opposite is what is happening in San Francisco. Neither are healthy or long-lasting. Ideally, a healthy city is one that finds a balance between social liberalism and protecting its business community so that income generation can help long-term growth and support the city’s programs. When, however, municipalities treat their businesses like cash cows, only good for income and no protection at all. Then, at some point, James Hurysz notes even the most giving of companies have a breaking point. That is what is happening in San Francisco with its small business tax revolt. The sentiments today are no different from those of the colonists during the Boston Tea Party. At a certain point, the colonists under the abuse of England using them as a tax coffer got sick of their treatment. And they pushed back. While no one expects San Francisco to be the start of the next American Revolution, the aspect of government delegitimizing itself still exists. And if those in local government don’t pay attention, they will find their entire system being fundamentally changed again from the ground up. Balance protects all elements, social and business. Protect the balance and everyone grows within limits. Ignore it, and change comes quickly and chaotically
