About
What is a CFO, anyway?
Is a CFO a controller? No — a controller handles the recording of transactions and filing tax returns. The CFO plans, develops, organizes, and directs the company’s fiscal functions.
A CFO focuses on the company’s strategic plans and navigates the company through turbulent economic headwinds. They provide significant input on managing the income and expenses by providing forecasts and cost-benefit analysis.
What a Fractional CFO
