Over the years, the role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has evolved well beyond the numbers. From managing a company’s finances to strategic business planning, the CFO has become a key player in a company’s success. But what about their role within the SME? Is it important for an SME to have a CFO?
The role of the Chief Financial Officer is to analyze the financial health of a business and assess its financing and cash flow requirements. They also evaluate processes and information systems to advise executives on the best tools to adopt to optimize the overall performance of the operations. The CFO therefore occupies a strategic position within a company, regardless of its size.
Since the costs associated with an experienced CFO are very high and represent a good portion of an SME’s payroll, it is quite normal for a leader to consider how to take full advantage of a CFO without “breaking the bank”.
