Staying Ahead of Growth: How Finance Powers Proactive Scaling 

Staying Ahead of Growth: How Finance Powers Proactive Scaling 

In this episode, CFO Brandon Sullivan of 2X shares how he transformed financial reporting to drive agility and informed decision-making. After securing private equity backing in March 2023, 2X ramped up hiring in anticipation of rapid growth. However, when revenue stalled, Sullivan realized that monthly reporting was too slow for a dynamic business. He implemented weekly financial reporting with leading and lagging indicators, giving his team 52 opportunities per year to course-correct instead of 12. This shift eliminated surprises, improved investor communication, and helped 2X regain momentum. Sullivan also discusses scaling finance, AI’s role, and optimizing marketing investments.
