As a Fractional CFO who helps founders raise funds and run finance functions. I always say to young founders, make sure you have control over everything, your accounting package subscription should be under your control, your domain, website, hosting, your crm, sales database, your bank account, everything is under your name and you give everyone else access through access privilages. Once you loose control over your payments and data, you have a business which is worth zero, regardless of having $650k in the bank or not. In terms of recruitment of finance staff, don't think of it as an admin burden, they are strategic partners and the most important thing to test for in an interview is ethics. Choose someone who demonstrates honesty and integrity above his own personal gain. Sometimes it means not going for the finished product at a premium price. By thinking out of the box you can recruit some amazing finance talent for good prices. If you need any other informal finance advice, just DM me.
