A REPOST OF A FASCINATING TOPIC WE HAVE DISCUSSED.
How to hire a CFO – excerpt:
Finance typically has the most access to the company’s performance data. An ineffective CFO tells you what happened in the past without providing the guidance and leadership to chart a path for the future. A great CFO will use this data to help the company make decisions about where and how to invest in growth and ensure that the company has optionality going forward. The best CFOs are also excellent storytellers. They can clearly articulate your company’s vision to investors, which is why they’re excellent at raising capital—private rounds, IPOs, or otherwise.
