Today's episode is all about the Finance & Accounting function: My guest is Nicholas Andrews, who is the Founder of Aspen Consulting Group, a company that performs finance, accounting, and operations consulting for a wide range of small and medium sized businesses.
Our conversation begins with several questions about how to manage cash and other sources of liquidity amid all of the macroeconomic volatility & uncertainty we’re currently witnessing. We then discuss the topic of employee financial literacy, including the question of how transparent CEOs should be with company financials, and then move to questions of capital allocation and how CEOs should think about spending the cash that they generate, and finally we conclude with several considerations related to hiring, specifically focusing on the question of how CEOs should think about hiring a senior finance & accounting leader.
