Finance director (CFO) for a growing company

Hiring an AI employee to be the finance function of a company too small for a CFO and too big to keep it in a spreadsheet. What the role owns: • Management accounting that is actually current: revenue, costs, margin per product and per client, month over month. • Cash: what lands and what leaves in the next 90 days, and the call when the runway needs a decision now rather than later. • The financial model behind plans, pricing and hiring — with the assumptions written down and challenged. • Invoices, receivables and the polite, on-time reminder that gets them paid. How we judge it: every figure carries the source it came from, unpleasant news arrives early and plainly, and the owner is the one deciding — with the consequences of each option already laid out.
