You are not alone!
In this episode, I’m sharing the financial "never do's" - things that founders should be wary of, and the cautionary tales from my experience as a CFO consultant that I believe are crucial for any business owner to heed.

Why you shouldn’t be using new online-only banks without proper research into their reliability, FDIC insurance, and fee structures
The importance of good data management
My experience with Square's checking account and the challenges of reconciling transactions
