Episode 1: What is a CFO?

 

 

“Imagine that you’re the business owner, and you’re driving down the road in your car. Sitting in the backseat behind you looking out the rear view window of your car is your bookkeeper, your accountant, and your tax preparer. They’re looking at historical data. They’re telling you where you went, how much you spent, and they have a historical viewpoint of the business’s activities. Sitting in the front seat next to you, the business owner who’s driving the car is your CFO. They’re looking out the front windshield telling you what’s coming up, how to plan, and how to be profitable.”
