James Kennedy chats with Haim Ratzabi, founder of HR Boutique CFO Services in Israel, about building and scaling companies in the Startup Nation - from early finance ops through U.S. GAAP/IFRS readiness and the long road to a NASDAQ listing. Haim explains Israel’s unique mix of government R&D support, elite military tech networks, and a deep advisor ecosystem (Big Four + global law firms) that helps startups go global. You’ll hear what it really takes - time, fees, bankers, tooling - to go public, when to bring in a fractional CFO, and how to structure finance so founders can move fast and pass investor/bank scrutiny.
