About this episode
Jon Blair is a Fractional Chief Financial Officer, who is very operationally-focused since he started out as a traditional accountant with an accounting degree. It was fascinating to hear his experiences of what shaped his career path, and what he has learnt working closely with founders. This podcast episode is a great introduction to the financial side of operations.
In this episode we discuss:
- Becoming an entrepreneurial accountant
- The skill of creativity in business leadership
- Jon’s process for choosing technologies
- Why every person in an organization needs to be profitable
- Inventory management strategies
