Bushel, a fast-scaling ag-tech company based in Fargo, North Dakota, builds software that connects grain facilities, ag retailers and farmers. As the company scaled, CEO Jake Joraanstad recognized they needed specialized finance expertise to support their operations while conducting a thorough search for a full-time CFO.
Function provided strategic CFO-level guidance and embedded finance expertise during Bushel's transition from their outgoing controller to the new permanent CFO. They implemented structured financial systems and maintained investor confidence throughout the transition period.
Function implemented a streamlined KPI dashboard and redesigned Bushel's board reporting structure, giving leadership clear visibility into performance metrics and enabling more effective investor communication and decision-making.
Function builds scalable systems and documents all processes from day one, so incoming finance leaders inherit well-structured operations with complete strategic context, enabling them to be effective immediately rather than spending months getting up to speed.
