The inflection point
When growth outpaces your finance function
Most founders don’t call because the books are wrong. They call because the business has become too consequential to run on last month’s numbers.
“We’re profitable, but cash still feels tight.”
“Our close takes too long.”
“I don’t trust the forecast.”
“We’ve outgrown our current accounting structure.”
“I need CFO-level thinking, but not a full-time CFO.”
