CFO Insider: How We Help Startups Raise Millions Without Wasting Money with Victoria Yampolsky

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Victoria Yampolsky, a serial entrepreneur and expert CFO for startups. She shared so many golden nuggets about the importance of strategic financial planning and how a CFO can be invaluable in laying the groundwork for growth. I loved her stories about the winding road that led her to launch the Startup Station, which has helped over 150 founders raise $50 million in funding. Her passion for supporting female entrepreneurs by addressing systemic funding gaps also came across clearly. Victoria broke down the key differences between a CFO, controller, accountant, and bookkeeper. I realized many businesses are operating without the vital guidance a CFO provides in modeling out a strategic vision into an actionable roadmap. She also explained common scaling mistakes like failing to allocate costs properly across business units. Bad data leads to bad decisions that can tank a company! Her advice? Work with a financial expert so you can focus on accelerating growth rather than back-office operations. I’d love to hear your biggest takeaways from Victoria’s wisdom! What stuck out to you most?
