Startup CFO: A Field Guide to Scaling Up Your Company's Finance Function - Paperback

by Matt Blumberg (Author), Jack Sinclair (Author)

You're only a first-time CFO once, but that first time can be a daunting challenge for startup leaders. Without a blueprint or a guide, you're in a tough spot to manage all of the details of finance, set up the accounts and systems, plus build out your team. Startup CFO was written to help the first-time CFO navigate finance challenges and provide tactics and best practices for how you can grow a high-performing function.

Matt Blumberg and Jack Sinclair have decades of finance and leadership experience from founding a company, scaling it, and exiting. They cover a wide range of topics from fundraising, to pricing and valuation, due diligence and corporate documentation, M&A transactions, operational accounting, international operations, strategic finance, and more. The authors share how to collaborate effectively in the executive suite and with functional leaders throughout an organization. As an added bonus, Matt shares CEO-to-CEO advice on what a great CFO looks like, signs that your CFO isn't scaling, and how to engage with the CFO.

Startup CFO will help you pinpoint gaps or weaknesses, turn those into strengths, and help you scale yourself, the finance function, and your organization.
