The hidden risks of not having a finance leader during a transaction

IGot a deal on the horizon — but no CFO in place? That’s a problem.

We see it all the time: founders fielding investor questions themselves, spreadsheets that don’t tie, and due diligence falling apart under pressure.

Without a finance leader during a transaction, you risk delays, missed red flags, and worse — losing credibility just when it matters most.

An interim CFO can fix this fast. They take control of the numbers, manage the boardroom, and let you focus on leading — not firefighting.

At Pitch Hill Partners, we parachute in CFOs who’ve done this before — exits, fundraises, buyouts.

If you're heading into a deal and finance feels exposed — let’s talk. No pitch. Just perspective.
