A virtual CFO based in Thane, for businesses in Thane and Navi Mumbai.
BizFractional is based at Hiranandani Estate in Thane. For businesses in Wagle Estate, the Thane-Belapur industrial belt, Vashi, Airoli, Mahape, Taloja and Panvel, that means a CFO who can be in your office in under an hour, and on your numbers every week in between.
The industrial half of the Mumbai region, with the thinnest finance bench.
Thane and Navi Mumbai hold the region's factories, warehouses and trading houses: chemicals and pharma intermediates in the Thane-Belapur belt, engineering in Wagle Estate and Ambernath, APMC traders in Vashi, logistics and exporters around JNPT and Taloja. Most are promoter-run, ₹10–200 crore businesses with an accounts team that does an excellent job of yesterday.
What they lack is someone who owns tomorrow: the cash position next month, the margin on the new product line, the bank's view of the balance sheet before the renewal, the second plant's payback. The cost of a full-time CFO is hard to justify at this size. The cost of not having one shows up as a stuck CC limit, a margin slide nobody noticed, or a renewal that goes badly.
A virtual CFO on a retainer closes that gap. Because we are local, the model is hybrid: weekly work inside your ERP and bank portals, a monthly review in your office, and a seat at the table when the bank, a large customer or an investor comes to visit.
Signs this is your business
- The CC limit is permanently at the ceiling despite growing sales
- Stock statements and drawing power are prepared the night before they are due
- You know revenue by heart but not margin by product or customer
- The second unit or new line was approved on instinct
- Month-end accounts arrive three weeks late and are then corrected
What a local virtual CFO does for you.
- 01
Cash first
A 13-week cash forecast, refreshed weekly, built from your actual receipts and payment commitments. Within a month you know which week is tight and what to do about it, instead of finding out from the bank.
- 02
Bank relationship, run professionally
Stock statements, drawing power, CMA data and renewal packs prepared the way a bank credit team reads them. Limits sized to the business, pricing negotiated with data, and a GST-linked or TReDS line where it saves interest.
- 03
Margin and MIS
Management accounts by the tenth working day, margin by product, customer and site, and a monthly review that ends with decisions. The chart of accounts is rebuilt so the ERP reports what you manage.
- 04
Controls that survive growth
Approval limits, payment controls, vendor master hygiene and a close calendar, so a second site, a second generation or a new finance head does not break governance.
A hybrid engagement: local presence, remote discipline.
Concrete deliverables, owned by named people, on a fixed monthly fee.
Every month
- Management accounts and variance commentary

Virtual CFO in Thane and Navi Mumbai: common questions
Which areas do you cover in person?
Thane city, Ghodbunder Road, Wagle Estate, Kalwa, Airoli, Rabale, Mahape, Turbhe, Vashi, Nerul, Belapur, Kharghar, Taloja, Panvel and the JNPT belt. Ambernath, Badlapur, Bhiwandi and Kalyan are covered on scheduled days. Everywhere else in India is served on video.
Virtual CFO or fractional CFO: which is this?
The same service. 'Virtual' describes the delivery, which is mostly remote; 'fractional' describes the commitment, which is a few days a month. Because we are local to Thane and Navi Mumbai, you get the virtual price with on-site presence when it counts.
Can you work with our existing accounts team and CA?
Yes, and we expect to. The accounts team keeps doing the books, now to a close calendar. Your CA keeps compliance. We add the layer that was missing: forecasting, bank strategy, margin analysis and the monthly decision review.
What size of business is this for?
Typically ₹10–200 crore turnover: manufacturers, traders, exporters, logistics and services businesses, and family-managed groups with more than one entity. Below ₹10 crore a monthly review engagement usually fits better than a full retainer.
