Being able to do everything in your business is the weakest reason to do it.Fractional CFO Joe Hamrahi joins Deevo Tindall to talk about letting go, staying in your lane, and the five numbers that tell you how your business is really doing.If you are the bottleneck in your own company, this one is for you.In this episode of The Branding Laboratory, Deevo sits down with Joe Hamrahi, CPA, founder and CEO of FinStrat CFO, and the person his friends call CFJoe. Joe spent nearly two decades as CFO and COO of a communications agency that grew from $9 million to more than $90 million in revenue, then launched his own fractional CFO practice in his 50s.Together they explore why capable founders struggle to hand things off, how to delegate one piece at a time until trust builds, what a great CFO actually does for a CEO, and where AI helps finance work and where it still needs a human who knows what the finished model should look like.A thank-you to our sponsor: Chemical Free BodyThis episode is sponsored by Chemical Free Body.
