Part I: The Pillars of Transformation
The role of today’s CFO is very different than it was 20, 10 or even five years ago. In the past, CFOs were mainly expected to provide accurate reporting, reliable forecasting and monitor cash. Today, CFOs are viewed as comprehensive business advisors expected to drive improved performance more than ever before. With technology solutions satisfying many of the tasks formerly driven by the office of the CFO, boards and management teams are now expecting CFOs to expand their impact on the business. In light of this shift, the CFO must be a true strategic advisor to the CEO.
In Part I of the six-part series, “Driving Transformation Through the Office of the CFO,” A&M Private Equity Services, CFO Services Leader & Managing Director, Richard Jenkins, provides an overview of the three primary building blocks of a high performing CFO office that constitute the pillars that are critical to a successful business transformation.
