Finance Director

Financial leaders discuss their level of oversight and share the most important issues from their experiences in the CFO role:

"Just make sure your skill level meets the job competency levels the company desires. Do a Dunn & Bradstreet report on their performance. Make no mistake about it — large publicly traded companies are all about meeting financial performance goals, and if not, they fire someone."

"A CFO manages the organization's strategic value and that value is enhanced with its influence on HR, IT, risk management and insurance. Such functions should always report to the CFO, as they then bring the external strategy with customers in alignment with internal set up through administration and teams."

"For the CFO transitioning from a private company to a public one, the major change is that you become a high profile spokesperson for the public company — very different than a private company environment."

"...you are connected to every area of the company; your influence is felt everywhere."
