Most startups outgrow their tax and accounting firm before they realise it.
By the time they do, they’re scrambling. Wondering if they need a full-time CFO, a bigger finance team, or just a better solution.

That’s where Fractional FinOps support comes in.

In this presentation Tim Whyte and Tim Macpherson from Metric will break down exactly how to use fractional finance smarts to scale your business.

They will dive into how startups need systems thinkers. How they need people who understand the intersection between operations and finance and how money flows through people, systems, approvals, tools and time.

In this session, you'll learn:

1. What you need from your finance function
2. What scaling finance functions need to know
3. What is Fractional Finance and FinOps
4. The right time to bring in a FinOps expert
5. Finance focus areas for a startup
