The Scale-Up CFO by Richard Veffer is the essential guide for finance leaders navigating the wild, high-growth world of scale-ups. Unlike traditional CFO handbooks, this book is built specifically for the chaos, speed, and ambiguity of companies scaling from startup to maturity, where cash is tight, decisions come fast, and complexity multiplies overnight. Drawing on years of experience as a fractional CFO and Partner at Greyt, Veffer takes readers deep into the CFO’s evolving role, from number-cruncher to strategic partner. Through practical frameworks, real-world examples, and a no-nonsense tone, he shows how today’s CFO must drive financial strategy, manage burn, lead with data, and partner across the C-suite to create sustainable momentum. Structured in six focused parts across 130 pages, The Scale-Up CFO covers everything from mastering financial infrastructure and risk management to building a data-driven finance function and leveraging automation and AI. It’s not just about protecting downside, it’s about unlocking upside. Veffer equips CFOs with the tools to become steady hands with commercial instincts, capable of turning chaos into clarity and numbers into action. This book is a must-read for ambitious CFOs, founders, and investors who want to understand what truly sets great finance leadership apart in a scale-up environment. Whether you’re preparing for your first scale-up challenge or deep in the trenches, this book will help you move from reactive reporting to proactive impact. Read it. Use it. Then do it your way.
