How Top CFO's Operate

Lessons we cover in this episode: Successful CFOs look at the big picture. As the source of financial truth, CFOs need to be able to look at any number and know if it’s “true” or not.

A good CFO needs to be a thinker and business partner, but they also need to be a doer (able to build a team, get work done, etc.).
