In this episode, Frank discusses the pressures facing middle market businesses as they grow, the moments when financial complexity outpaces what the business is set up to handle. Sharing what he sees on the ground, the triggers that force business owners to act, the hidden costs of getting the finance function wrong, and what separates the businesses that build lasting financial capability from those that keep firefighting.
Frank Russo is a partner at Pitcher Partners Melbourne and the pioneer behind their Outsourced Finance Team, built on the recognition that growing businesses consistently hit the same wall, their financial infrastructure can’t keep pace with their ambition. He works daily with business owners and CFOs across multiple sectors, helping them make the financial decisions that determine whether a business scales well or buckles under its own growth.
