I’ve often been asked what the role of a CFO is and how I could help in various areas of the business. Here is a brief summary of specific areas of business and what the CFO role entails. I’m always happy to elaborate so feel free to contact me directly.

Managing the organization’s cash flow, investments, and financing activities falls under the CFO's treasury responsibilities. A CFO must oversee liquidity management, optimize capital structure, and mitigate financial risk. Their hands-on role involves actively managing banking relationships and exploring financing options to ensure the organization’s financial stability.

While directly involved in cash management decisions, the CFO also leads a broader strategy that aligns capital allocation with business priorities, ensuring that the company is well-positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities while managing risk.
