Top challenges faced after your company receives funding

Updated: May 7, 2025

If you’ve recently received funding, then you’re familiar with how challenging it is to provide timely, insightful financial information to your investors.

Challenges

This could be due to:

  • A shortage of affordable, high quality finance personnel
  • High turnover in the finance department
  • An under-performing finance team
  • Lack of proper internal controls
  • Process scalability
  • Fighting disparate, immature, and limiting systems
  • Lack of good financial data
  • Difficulty measuring and analyzing that data

Whether you’re facing just one of these issues or all of them, Consero Global can help.
