Do you really need a CFO now?

We built this tool because so many founders are told they ‘need a CFO’—usually during a fundraise or as a condition of investment—without anyone actually explaining what that means or whether it’s truly necessary right now.

Investors often assume every growing company needs senior finance leadership in place, but the truth is more nuanced. Some businesses are perfectly fine with the structure they already have. Others really do need to upgrade.

This assessment helps you cut through the noise, check whether you have enough financial leadership for your current stage, and understand if bringing in a CFO or FD would actually move the needle for you
