A session to provide the Dtec startup community with some practical learnings and tangible takeaways on managing financial risk. This session is open to Dtec Member companies only.

During the session we will explore:

• You’ve raised money! Now how do you track your transactions and choose the right system to do that?

• What are the important financial documents/schedules to have in place once you get your first revenues? We will provide access to The Scalable CFO growth file that acts as a virtual checklist of what you need.

• How do you build a P&L that is meaningful and use it to make better decisions? We will provide access to The Scalable CFO growth calculator that provides quick analysis and benchmarking of your cost structure against the industry.
