Why It Matters in Chambersburg

Planning ahead in Chambersburg

As the Franklin County seat, Chambersburg has an unusual mix of anchors for a borough its size. Chambersburg Hospital is the largest employer, the school district follows, and Letterkenny Army Depot operates five miles north of town. Wilson College, a liberal arts school, adds a campus. Two old routes meet downtown, the Lincoln Highway and the Molly Pitcher Highway, with Interstate 81 just to the east carrying freight between Maryland and central Pennsylvania.

Scott has owned an auto sales lot, a bookstore and a logistics company, so he reads a forecast the way an owner does. With an annual budget and quarterly check-ins, a Chambersburg business can see whether a new hire, a bigger contract or another truck fits before anyone signs. The numbers come from your clean books, not guesses.

Questions Chambersburg business owners ask about fractional CFO.

Will I have to drive to Hagerstown for CFO meetings?

Do I need clean books before hiring a fractional CFO?

Yes. CFO work builds on clean books. If yours are behind, Scott can catch them up first and then start forecasting.

We want to bid on a large Franklin County contract. Can you tell us if it makes sense?

Yes. Scott looks at your margins by job and your cash forecast to show how the contract would affect cash before you commit. The answer comes from your own numbers, not a rule of thumb.

Should we buy or lease our next piece of equipment?

It depends on your cash position and how you use the equipment. Scott runs both options through your forecast and budget so you can compare them side by side.
