Is a CFO Your Business's Missing Piece for Success?

Are your sales up but your systems on fire? In this episode of The Cozy CEO, Kimberly Ferguson breaks down why strong revenue can hide a broken backend—and what to fix first so you can scale without burnout. If your Stripe is popping but your SOPs are duct-taped, this is your playbook for operational maturity, clean processes, and real profit.

You’ll learn how to:
📌Spot the red flags that your business has outgrown its systems
📌Replace chaos with clear SOPs, dashboards, and role clarity
📌Stop being the bottleneck with owner-level delegation
📌Protect margins by fixing fulfillment, communication, and handoffs
📌Build a foundation that scales (without wrecking your nervous system)
