CFO THOUGHT LEADER’s Post

  The best CFOs don’t just control finances and manage FP&A. They’re also storytellers. They keep people focused on what’s most important and ensure every part of the company is driving meaningful value.    By ensuring every employee understands their part to play in the business story, the best CFOs can chart an organization-wide course toward profitability and efficiency.    I’m thrilled to join Vena CFO @MelissaHowatson for this week’s episode of The CFO Show to share my insights on how CFOs can become growth drivers and A-game communicators, and insights into what equips a CFO to accelerate business performance in the boardroom.    Listen to the episode now here. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3XBVufu    #CFOShow #FractionalCFO

Myth-Busting: CFOs Are More Than Just Reactive One of the things I love doing is myth-busting or reframing because we often come into experiences, meet people, or think of things from a story (that may or may not be 100% true). Today, I want to debunk a common myth about CFOs. Not long ago, I listened to someone share their story and perspective of CFOs in the corporate workplace. From her experience, CFOs benefited the business owner ONLY from a retroactive perspective without actively shaping the company's future. Here's the truth: A good CFO is so much more than that. A great CFO is your strategic partner, someone who helps you navigate the present, ensures your decisions align with your goals and works with you to proactively maximize your resources. They’re co-visionaries in your business, ensuring you can pivot when needed and stay aligned with your vision. Think of them as helping create an ecosystem where your business thrives, not just managing numbers but actively supporting growth and strategy. What’s the story you tell yourself about CFOs? And how has this video shifted that story? Let me know your thoughts below. #CFOInsights #BusinessStrategy #ProactiveLeadership #FractionalCFO #VisionaryLeadership #LatinaVisibility #SmallBusinessCEO #Changemaker #Trailblazer #FoundingCEO

How to be a Playmaker CFO in 2024 Yesterday I shared that <5% of CFOs that had taken the CFO of the future Index scored as Playmakers. It's not bad news...the lion's share sat at Adviser and Partner. Which is pretty good, considering the shift away from the back-office. But I think there's a group of CFOs that don't want to just sit with the masses and be 'pretty good'. I think there's a group that want to be the best, because they know this is when they can contribute the most...to their people, their businesses and their communities. They know that in order to do this, they need to step up and be in the top 5%. If you want to be in the top 5% (or if you're a CEO who wants yur CFO to be top 5%), take a read of my recent article where I share an excerpt of the CFO of the future Index 'Sequence of Success' report, where I share how to be a Playmaker CFO in 2024. Love to hear your thoughts...
