Growth and Scaling Course Series Twelve
Scaling a business requires a robust financial infrastructure and a well-thought-out long-term financing strategy. Finance Systems and the Long-Term Financing Strategy is a masterclass designed for CEOs of companies with $1M to $30M in annual revenue who are focused on developing finance systems that support sustainable growth and creating a financing strategy that aligns with their long-term goals.
This course provides an in-depth exploration of the four levels of internal finance systems and financial controls necessary for managing significant growth. You will learn how to evolve your finance systems beyond basic tools like QuickBooks, understand the roles and responsibilities of financial staff at different stages, and implement financial processes that ensure operational efficiency. Additionally, the course covers strategies for raising capital, the importance of staging financing rounds, and how to structure deals that maximize your company’s valuation over time.
Participants will gain actionable insights into creating a finance strategy that supports scaling, including how to integrate finance systems with broader business operations and how to approach capital raising with a long-term perspective. This session is essential for any CEO looking to build a financial foundation that not only supports growth but also enhances the overall valuation of the company.

A ROADMAP FOR SCALING
GROWTH IS HARD. SCALING RAPIDLY IS MUCH HARDER!
There is no MBA program or university in the world that teaches CEOs, Managers and Executives how to scale a company.
Jim Collins, in the classic, best-selling book Good To Great, found it took the average “great” company 8 to 10 years to figure out its internal systems to scale. At AirTight Management, we have been helping companies do this in 12 to 18 months since 2011.
Watch the video to learn some secrets about scaling and what this growth and scaling workshop can do to help you.
