Since Patricia lacks the necessary skills to manage the company's finances, it would be complementary to hire someone who is skilled in accounting to manage the finances of the firm. A complementary fit occurs when someone is hired to fill a role that the existing team or founder cannot perform. Therefore, option D is the best fit. Options A and B suggest that Patricia has the necessary skills or that the position is not necessary, respectively, and option C indicates that the position needs to be filled but does not guarantee a complementary fit.
