A Chief Financial Officer is one of the most important functions in a company.
They are versatile and responsible for managing the financial actions of a company. A CFO tracks the cash flow of the business, analyses the strengths and weaknesses to propose corrective action plans (when necessary) and prepares accurate forecasts of a business so that management can track where the business is heading. Most small and medium sized companies don’t need an internal or full-time CFO function on a daily basis.
