Founder: I need to hire a CFO for my Series B start-up. Me: What would you need the CFO to focus on? Founder: A bit of accounting, though we have an outsourced provider for that. Primarily, I’m looking for someone to manage budgeting, forecasting, and business partnering with sales to help determine margin. Me: What growth milestones are you aiming for in the next 12 months? Are you planning for international expansion, raising additional funding, launching a new product, or making acquisitions? Founder: Not really. We’ve just raised funds and will stay focused in the US for now. The goal is modest revenue growth. Me: Based on what you’ve mentioned, I think you may need more of a VP or Head of Finance, rather than a CFO at this stage. This is a conversation we often have with founders. Many don’t have a deep finance or accounting background, so there’s often a need for education around what kind of leader to hire, when, and what value each role brings to the table. That’s actually one of the reasons we developed our “CFO Hiring Playbook,” which includes insights from industry leaders. It’s free to download, and it’s designed to simplify the process of deciding who to hire, when to hire them, and how to approach the search for a finance leader. Now available to download ?? through the link in the comments. Enjoy! #CFO #NYC #Startup #Tech #CFOhiring
