Frequently asked

When do I switch from outsourced to full-time CFO?

Around 50+ headcount or 100M TRY revenue. Outsourced model is most efficient at 0-50 headcount.

Build my own team or outsource?

Outsource is advantageous at low monthly document volume (variable vs fixed salary). High volume + confidentiality requirements favour an in-house team.
