The CFO squeeze
This week, I attended an amazing event hosted by Zanda - one of the top CFO recruiting firms here in NYC.
It was called the CFO Roundtable.
There, I joined 12 other CFOs for breakfast where we discussed our current biggest challenges.
What was on everyone's minds?
The challenging fundraising market.
It seems that for a large number of CFOs in the startup & SMB world, we've seen increasing pressure:
To do more with less
To build flexibility into budgets
To manage stakeholder expectations
To seek out alternative funding sources
To make tough calls that impact the team
To weigh founder trust against investor transparency
To focus on profit even in companies optimized for growth
It's tough out there right now for CFOs!
But it's a lot tougher out there for those founders and owners
Who don't have a good CFO on their side.
And that's why
We do what we do.
