I Was Hired When They Needed Help. Now I Need Help by Rubyjade: 9:44am On Oct 06, 2023
As the finance manager for a new company, I was hired when they needed help.

The company had a lot of potential, but it was hard for them to make money because it didn't have a strategy.

The company's founder said he had made mistakes when hiring the right finance staff for the past three years. It was easy to understand why they all left.

The company's founder was a good leader but not particularly good with numbers.

When I took over the finances, it was clear that he still wanted to control everything. He didn't listen to what I had to say about how to fix the financial situation.

Even so, I was able to make significant improvements over the year. But the founder didn't seem interested.

He said he didn't want to hear about how much money we were losing anymore because it made him feel bad. So, I decided to leave because there wasn't enough executive support.

The founder kept making financial decisions without accurate and relevant information to back them up. The company is still having trouble and is close to bankruptcy.

This is a cautionary tale about how important it is to hire experts and listen to what they say. Don't hire experts just to tell them what to do if you want your business to do well.

More importantly, don't ignore the expertise and advice of the people you hired to solve problems.

PS: This is not a true story, but this kind of thing always happens with OMBs, so many people can relate.
