Think Like a CFO: The Key Mindset Shift to Scale Your Startup

  • Summary

  • What really separates a visionary CEO from a strategic CFO?

    And more importantly — how can founders tap into both mindsets to scale smarter?

    In this episode of The CFO Edge, Carol breaks down the key differences between the CEO and CFO lens — and why switching gears between the two is crucial as your business grows.

    You’ll hear how to balance bold bets with disciplined decision-making, and why thinking like a CFO doesn’t mean playing it safe — it means playing to win with your numbers in check.

    You’ll learn:

    • What the CEO mindset gets right (and where it can lead you astray)
    • How CFO thinking brings clarity, focus, and long-term traction
    • Practical ways to adopt a financial leadership lens — even if you’re not a numbers person

    Whether you're bootstrapping or backed by venture, this episode is your guide to scaling with confidence and financial intelligence.
