Most founders think CFOs are just for Fortune 500 companies.

But according to Dan DeGolier — founder of Ascent CFO Solutions — that mindset could be killing your growth.

Dan’s team serves as the outsourced finance department for startups and scaling brands across the globe…

…and in today’s episode, he breaks down the biggest mistakes he sees — and how you can avoid them.

We cover:

  • The #1 red flag Dan sees before businesses start to collapse
  • What to do when your old systems stop working (because of growth!)
  • How to build a financial model that actually helps you make decisions
  • Why most solopreneurs ignore KPIs until it’s too late
  • Real-world stories from companies that made it… and those that didn’t

Whether you’re a founder, operator, or investor — this one is packed with insights to help you scale smarter…

Take Control,
Hunter Thompson
