Why CFO Services at Black Arrow Business Studio?
Because You Deserve Better
Once your business reaches a certain size or speed, it needs more than bookkeeping and tax support; it needs high-level financial leadership. Whether you’re raising capital, managing rapid growth, or simply trying to keep cash flow stable while planning ahead, you need someone who can see the full financial picture and guide the business accordingly.
At Black Arrow, we provide CFO-level expertise without the cost of a full-time executive. We help you make smarter financial decisions, manage risk, optimise resources, and align your finances with your long-term business strategy. Our approach is hands-on, tailored, and always aligned with New Zealand regulatory and financial standards.
Whether you’re scaling, restructuring, or preparing for a major move, we give you the clarity, structure, and strategic thinking to make it happen with confidence.
The Financial Complexity You Shouldn’t Face Alone
No Strategic Financial Plan: Making big decisions without a long-term financial roadmap?
Cash Flow Uncertainty: Struggling to balance working capital, payroll, and growth investments?
Funding Challenges: Not sure how to structure debt or raise capital effectively?
Reporting Gaps: Investors, boards, or lenders asking for insights you don’t have ready?
Tax and Risk Blind Spots: Worried your tax strategy or internal controls are leaving you exposed?
Decision Fatigue: Tired of making financial calls without the right advice?
What Happens Without CFO-Level Support?
Missed Growth Opportunities: Without strategic planning, momentum slows, and capital is misused.
Cash Flow Crises: Poor visibility leads to shortfalls, late payments, or overextended credit.
Inefficient Funding: Without a sound capital structure, raising money becomes expensive or impossible.
Increased Risk: Lack of controls, oversight, or planning opens the door to compliance breaches and fraud.
Underperforming Operations: You can’t improve what you don’t measure.
Leadership Bottlenecks: Financial decisions fall solely on the business owner, creating strain and delay.

Case Study
A tech-enabled logistics firm in Auckland was growing fast but lacked financial oversight. Cash flow was tight, reporting was ad hoc, and the CEO was juggling both sales and finance without a clear plan. We stepped in as their outsourced CFO, building a rolling forecast, creating investor-ready reports, and advising on an optimal capital structure for expansion. We introduced internal controls to manage cost centres and helped them secure a large funding round. Within nine months, they saw a 22% improvement in gross margin and achieved breakeven ahead of target, all with financial decisions aligned to strategy.
From Auckland to Anywhere
We’re proudly based in Auckland, but our support reaches right across Aotearoa, from Wellington and Christchurch to Tauranga, Whangārei, and everywhere in between. As a fully paperless business, we use smart, secure cloud systems to make working with us easy, no matter where you are. That means faster communication, real-time access to your info and fewer admin headaches. Distance doesn’t get in the way of great service. With Black Arrow, you’ve got a partner that’s local in mindset, nationwide in reach, and digital by design.
