CFO Confidential: Best Practice Tips & Tricks
summary
Advises when to hire: bring a finance-shaped person early and hire a full-time CFO by Series A when games, IP and cap table require stewardship; teams under 20 still need finance focus. Recommends a game-centric org, co-locate or hybrid three days, and use partners plus a collaborative data science platform so UA, product and finance share one source of truth. Report monthly with transparency and trust, share daily signals (e.g. Slack) and plan equity vs cash rewards; watch tax complexity (6,000 wallet transactions → 40 pages of Excel).
