Do I have the right CFO at this point in time?
CFO Selections
See publicationThis article points out a few areas to consider in determining if you currently have the “right CFO” and a pointer on “buyer beware” if you are considering making a change in CFO during a time of high unemployment.

Too few or too many CFOs?
CFO Selections
See publicationAs the leader of our executive search practice, the most common question I get asked is, “What is the market like for CFOs?”
My reply has generally been, “Well, in the Pacific Northwest there is an oversupply of experienced CFOs but not enough ‘up and comer’ CFOs”.
I also mention: “It will cost you a lot more to get an inexperienced CFO than it did in the past.”
Why do I say this? It is all about demographics and supply and demand. -
How Does Your CFO Spend Their Day?
CFO Selections
See publicationEver wonder why your CFO spends more time in their office than anywhere else? Or maybe you have a CFO who is always out meeting with people outside your business when you are trying to talk with them about an issue? Do you have a Controller who feels ignored by your CFO? Do you have a CFO who is great at talking about the needs of your business, but can’t seem to answer a detailed question about the financial statements?
