324: Do You Need a Bookkeeper, CPA or CFO? with Hannah Smolinski

This is a must listen! CEO's know their numbers and know who to turn to to get them. Most of my clients share that they don't know which numbers they should be tracking, how to decipher the financial reports they receive and what support they need on their team and when. So, I invited BizChix community member, Hannah Smolinski, CPA, who provides virtual CFO services through her firm BrightenUp Financial to educate us.

Hannah shares what the difference is between a bookkeeper, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Also, when do you need them in your business?

We dig into questions to ask before hiring a bookkeeper, CPA or CFO, some key indicators that point to the need for a CFO in your business, and overcoming the mental block that says you need to have your numbers in order before hiring a financial professional.
