How CFOs think: Why growth does not always mean profit

Growth is not the problem. Undisciplined growth is. Does revenue growth without financial discipline create value or destroy is the question at the centre of this expert-led episode.

Listeners will learn: Why growth does not necessarily create profitability or value Where profit commonly disappears as businesses scale up How cash flow differs from profit Which KPIs growing SMEs often overlook What a fractional CFO looks at first when entering a business How dashboards can improve financial visibility How finance leaders can challenge the assumption that growth always equals success Where to start when a fast-growing business has weak financial discipline For SME owners, CFOs and senior finance professionals, the discussion offers a practical perspective on financial controls and questions that matter as a business scales up. Tune in now. Host: Ky Chow. Ky is a business journalist, media trainer, writer and presenter. Guest: Priyan Fernando. Priyan is a CPA and founder of fractional CFO practice Metrix Advisory.
