The numbers are always behind
When bookkeeping is behind, management information is unavailable or nobody can explain why profit and cash moved, the business is making larger decisions with weaker information.
The controls haven't grown with the business
More people handling money without clear permissions, approvals and responsibilities increases risk. Growth needs stronger processes, not simply more people using the same spreadsheet.
