rank in the top 5 of a company. It's a great deal and the financial analysis is fun.
Question: how many shareholders have screemed for the head of the CFO because a company failed to successfully meet its goals?
Answer: None.
In the largest of companies, outside of accounting, finance, tax, the CFO may have HR, facilities, and possibily some other G&A departments. But Research, Marketing, Sales, Manufacturing, QA, etc. all report to the COO and CEO.
Being a CFO is a great gig because of the low risk.
Just saying...
Best,
