Take your time.

Need A Challenge.
Chief Financial Officer (CFO):
I worked in positions for several years, that were not challenging. I was bored. Accounting and Financial Management are challenging, but enjoyable at the same time. I like the responsibility of being able to analyze and then recommend ways to improve the business profitability. My job is often similar to putting the pieces of the puzzle together, interpreting the results, and presenting those results, along with recommendations for change.
August 2014
Must Have Strong Accounting And Financial Skills.
Chief Financial Officer (CFO):
Know the business, work with managers and real estate professionals at every level. The financial function is a service to the operating departments.
Keeping the owner's informed, providing expert financial analysis on which decisions can be made is the primary function of the CFO.
