CFO, A Useful Ally To CEOs

Maximizing Long-Term Corporate Growth And Shareholder Value

The visibility a CFO has on a business is second only to the CEO. At times, this visibility on
finances and the inter-relationships in business dynamics enables a CFO to have insights that can exceed CEOs. A CFO can use this insight to evolve his role from a mere book keeper to a prime partner to a CEO. The CFO plays a key role in M&A as a value added function. Divestment at the right time and value and acquisition to add to inorganic growth provides adrenaline to the
enterprise. Handling partnership and stakeholder's  relations is another directional shift in a role of a CFO. They are the front face of an organization and his view over business provides
strength to develop and nurture partnership and stakeholder's relationship. The same overview
also provides a CFO with the tools to develop business strategy that is designed for long term
shareholder value.
