Why Are Companies Hiring Over and Over Again for Finance & Administration?

Updated: March 17, 2025

In a small business, capital often takes over, compromising the quality of in-house finance to fit budgetary restraints.

We’ve all seen it … small- to mid-sized businesses can only afford to hire one person, so they aim for the middle. They hope this middle person will provide the higher level of work more strategically, while also doing the lower transactional work in the business.

That’s just not going to happen today. The result is an employee questioning his or her own confidence, and feeling little self worth. On the flip side, entrepreneurs and business owners are spending money, yet not getting any information in return to help run their businesses more efficiently and grow.

That’s where Consero Global can help. Consero provides a small company with a team of financial experts to bridge this gap.

As Bill Klein, president of Consero, says, “For the work that’s needed to support a small- to mid-sized business, there are components of it that are pretty strategic … understanding capital needs of the business, helping the business understand what their options are, making sure the business is in compliance, down to paying vendors and invoicing customers. There are different skill sets for each of these buckets.”

In this video, Bill offers his views on hiring strategies and success for small businesses.
