Treat your finance function as a continuously improving system — just like your tech product or service.
Introduction
- Most startups obsess over product-market fit, user experience, and scale.
- But what about the finance function? Why is it still treated as a reactive support system?
The Mindset Shift: Finance as a Product
- Define what it means to treat finance as a product
- Regular updates, performance reviews, user (founder) feedback loops, and iterative improvements
Core Components of a Productized Finance Function
- Clear KPIs: Burn rate, CAC, runway, MRR/ARR, etc.
- Clean architecture: systems, tools, dashboards
- Customer experience: fast reporting, clarity, transparency
- Scalability: from 10 to 100+ employees, multi-entity, cross-border
Common Pitfalls When Finance Is Treated as Just Compliance
- Missed investor deadlines
- Zero forecasting or planning
- Lack of unit economics clarity
- Compliance penalties
