The Critical Hire Most Startups Delay (Until It’s Too Late) #leadership #startup #recruitment

Not every startup needs them right away. But if you wait too long, you might pay the price.

In the early days, most founders can get by managing finances themselves—maybe with the help of a bookkeeper.

But as your business grows, so do the stakes.

- When you’re planning your first big fundraising round, who’s structuring the deal?
- When you’re scaling and burning cash who’s ensuring it’s spent efficiently?
- When you’re navigating complex financial decisions who’s thinking five steps ahead?

A CFO isn’t just a number-cruncher. They’re a strategic partner who can help you:

- Forecast growth and avoid cash flow crises
- Design a scalable financial model
- Build investor confidence with clear, data-backed insights

Wait too long to bring one on board, and you could miss opportunities or make costly mistakes.

So, when should you hire a CFO? As soon as your business’s complexity outgrows your financial expertise.
