How to Know When You're Ready to Hire a CFO

Most founders wait too long to hire a Fractional CFO.

(And it costs you more than you realize.)

Here’s why this matters for your business:

1. Growth Without a Roadmap = Risk

Scaling too fast?

Not having a financial plan in place leads to:
↳ Cash flow issues
↳ Profitability problems
↳ Missed investor expectations

➠ If your revenue is growing but margins aren’t, it’s time for a CFO.

2. Financial Pressure From Investors & Lenders

Need funding?

You need the right numbers.

The strongest pitches include:
↳ Data-backed growth projections
↳ Clean, investor-ready financials
↳ A clear cash flow strategy

➠ A Fractional CFO helps you secure funding faster by building trust with investors.

3. The CFO Playbook

This is where most founders struggle and lose time.

Here’s what a Fractional CFO actually does:
↳ Financial strategy & forecasting
↳ Profitability & cost optimization
↳ Cash flow & risk management
↳ Investor-ready financials

➠ Pro tip: If you’re spending more time on spreadsheets than strategy, you need a CFO.

The math is simple:

$1M+ revenue
+ Stronger financial planning
= Sustainable growth & investor confidence

Most founders try to handle finance alone...
The best ones get the right help at the right time.

This is just the beginning.
