I'm a fractional CFO revealing the story behind the numbers so business owners can confidently make the data-driven decisions that allow them to leap forward.

Job title inflation = risk of financial loss. Mark’s company is booming, but he's wearing too many hats: owner, CFO, and VP of Sales. He's now a bottleneck, with administrative tasks piling up. His solution? Delegate tasks to his existing team. He decided to have his purchasing clerk trained by their CPA become their CFO. This is a classic case of job title inflation. Titles like CFO come with expectations of experience, strategic planning, and financial expertise. It’s detrimental to the business when you expect someone without the right background to take on CFO-level responsibilities. Job title inflation is a significant problem for business owners, especially in financial functions. Avoid it. Need help identifying gaps and hiring the right professionals? Let's talk.
