Every growing company reaches a point where its finance function stops keeping up. Reports take longer, complex accounting questions land on people who’ve never handled them, and an audit or fundraise exposes gaps nobody had time to fix.

At The Future is Fractional 2026, our CFO Aira Pineda asked three leaders who have lived through that moment to walk through it honestly, from the warning signs to the messy first 90 days. In this article, we break down what they shared:
🔹 The warning signs your finance function has outgrown its structure
🔹 Why quick hiring fixes often fall short
🔹 The cost of an unready finance function, from audit fees to valuation
🔹 How to match finance expertise to company stage
🔹 How to vet an outsourced finance partner
🔹 What to do in the first 90 days

Featuring Thar Casey (AmberSemi), Eric Valle (Aduro Advisors), and Marcus Guerro (Guerro Enterprises), moderated by Aira Pineda (Scrubbed).

Their shared takeaway: build for readiness early, choose partners on fit and relationship rather than price alone, and use the first 90 days to prove the partnership works.

We’re proud to celebrate six of our finance and accounting leaders who have earned the Certified Revenue Cycle Representative (CRCR) credential from the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA). Our team combines CRCR (Certified Revenue Cycle Representative) training, which covers the entire healthcare revenue cycle—from patient access and billing to compliance and collections—with strong accounting expertise and experience gained at Big Four and other leading global accounting firms. This unique combination enables us to deliver more than accurate financial reporting: we understand how healthcare revenue is generated, managed, collected, and ultimately reflected in your financial results. This end-to-end perspective allows us to help healthcare organizations strengthen revenue visibility, improve financial accuracy, and make more informed business decisions Achieving this certification required significant dedication. Each of them completed extensive training modules alongside their ongoing client responsibilities, maintaining the same standard of service throughout, before completing the certification this October 2026. They also extended the value of their learning to the wider organization. Last April 24, 2026, they launched our Healthcare Training Series: Certified Revenue Cycle Representative, sharing their knowledge with colleagues across the team. As we continue to grow our healthcare practice, this expertise positions our team to support healthcare organizations with the revenue cycle insight their finance functions require. Please join us in congratulating:
🔹 Joy Mendoza Gallardo, CPA, CRCR | Director, Finance and Accounting
🔹 Carrissa Ysabel Magsalos, CPA, CRCR | Accounting Senior Manager
🔹 Alliot Jhor Galvan, CRCR | Accounting Manager
🔹 Dianne Mae Nisperos-Agustin, CPA, CRCR | Accounting Manager
🔹 Maria Lois Elora Tanjueco, CPA, CRCR | Accounting Manager
🔹 Sweetzel Bayawa, CPA, CRCR | Accounting Manager

For decades, building a finance function followed one rule: need a capability, hire someone. At The Future is Fractional 2026, that rule was put to the test. Our CEO, Vince De Leon, opened the day with a different starting point: “Own what is core. Get access to the rest.”

Across every session, speakers kept coming back to the same questions: What should a finance team own? What can it reliably access? And what still requires a person?

In this article, we pull together the themes that ran through the day:
🔹 Capability is separating from headcount
🔹 What to keep in-house and what to access through fractional or specialist support
🔹 AI is changing the work, but accountability stays with a person
🔹 Why documented processes and clean data come before any AI tool
🔹 Why finance earns trust by being early, not just precise

It also includes an 8-question diagnostic you can work through with your own team. Written for CFOs, controllers, CEOs, and founders deciding how to structure their finance function.

A look back at the watch party and networking at Scrubbed's Burlingame office.

On September 24, our team and guests gathered in Burlingame to watch The Future is Fractional 2026 together. Between sessions there was coffee, conversation, and plenty of networking around what it takes to build a modern finance function for growing companies.

The event may be over, but the conversations are still going. Watch out for event blogs, session highlights, and videos landing here in the coming days, so you can revisit the insights and frameworks our speakers shared.
