Growing firms face senior-level decisions on pricing, funding, plant choice and hiring long before they can afford a full-time CFO or COO.
Why it happens
- The founder carries every decision alone, and the most important ones wait the longest.
- A full-time senior hire is too expensive, too slow to recruit, or simply not needed every day.
- Advice comes from people who are selling something: a machine, a loan, a software licence.
What to do instead
- Name the decisions that need senior judgement in the next 6–12 months.
- Bring in the right leader for those decisions: for a project, an assignment or a single occasion.
- Set clear goals for the role, and a handover to your own team when the time comes.
