Investing in your finance function with CJ Gustafson

​Finance is often the last area that gets investment and the first place where things go wrong. In a startup's early days, it’s easy to use external resources to cover the bare minimum to keep the business moving, but that often leads to blindspots developing that come back to bite you down the track in ways ranging from a small blip to a huge blight. 

​To get on the front foot of finance, we’re chatting to CJ Gustafson, CFO of Partstech and the mind behind one of our favourite blogs and newsletters, Mostly Metrics, and host of the podcast, Run the Numbers. In this session, we’ll cover: 

• ​A 101 on finance tasks, roles and scope 

• ​How investing in finance benefits the founder, management and the overall business

• ​Building finance capabilities across business stages

• ​Financial reporting, key metrics and mistakes to avoid
