The Biggest Challenges Founders Face When Hiring Their First CFO

Hiring your first CFO? Most founders get stuck right here.

💭 “Do I really need one yet?”

💭 “Can I afford someone senior?”

💭 “Do I need someone strategic — or just a better FD?”

A great CFO gives you clarity, credibility, and control. They help you raise, report, forecast, and focus. But only if you hire the right one — for your stage, team, and ambition.
