You Need a CFO Before You've Made a Mess
You Need a CFO Before You've Made a Mess. In this interview, fractional CFO for SaaS Brands, Anthony Nitsos explains why startups should bring in financial expertise early. He warns that waiting until you're bigger means a new CFO will have to "clean up a mess" that has been created, which is always more expensive than setting up your accounting and finance correctly from the beginning. Anthony also shares his joke that CFO can stand for "Chief Flushing Officer," breaks down the fundamental difference between bootstrapped founders (market insiders) and VC-backed founders (product visionaries), and gives his blunt take on the startup lifecycle: "They're either gonna exit or they're gonna die."
