From startup to growth company: The challenges a startup faces and the tasks of the founding team during the startup phase are enormous. Once these challenges have been successfully mastered, the next challenges of the growth phase are just around the corner. A startup must become a true growth company.
The role of the CFO: In both phases of corporate development, the CFO's expertise – that is, financial expertise – is required in varying degrees. While a CFO alone is not sufficient for corporate success, it is necessary to successfully master the challenges ahead.
The Pape & Co. team offers you insights into the commercial side of business (CFO skills) of startups and growth companies and works with you to develop how you can effectively implement these skills in your company:
- Is a CFO important (basic functions in the company, CFO success factor, roles of the CFO)?
- Tools/areas of responsibility of the CFO (corporate planning/controlling, reporting/investor communication, company building – creating organizations, sales/income taxes, internationalization from a commercial perspective).
