Top challenges faced after your company receives funding

Updated: October 26, 2021

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

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
