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.
- Decide where you want to be on the spectrum of strategic vs operational. 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.).
- When you first step into a new role, focus on people, process and technology.
- When you get it wrong, acknowledge it, fix it, forgive yourself and move on.
- Focus on 2 things as a CFO: growing yourself, and growing your team.
