Signs You Need a CFO

1

Pricing based on vibes, not data

You're leaving millions on the table because you haven't modeled price elasticity, segmentation, or value metrics. Your competitors are A/B testing their way to 2x higher ARPU while you're guessing.

2

Building tomorrow with yesterday's tools

While you're manually pulling reports from five different systems, your competition has AI agents automating insights. They make decisions in minutes; you take days to even find the data.

3

Team lacks financial literacy

Product doesn't understand margins and Sales doesn't get unit economics. Data lives in silos across teams, leaving everyone flying blind and making expensive mistakes.

4

Your unit economics are a black box

You know your burn rate but not your LTV:CAC by channel, cohort, or segment. You're spraying money across GTM channels without knowing what actually drives profitable growth.

5

Your financial model is fiction

It's a static spreadsheet that's wrong the day after you make it. Close takes 20 days, revenue recognition is duct-taped together, and every diligence call feels like an interrogation because you not confident in your numbers.

6

Working capital is tied up in inefficiencies

Receivables and vendor terms are draining your resources unchecked, leading to working capital shortages and missed investment opportunities. Cash you need today is stuck in 90-day payment cycles.
