Being a CFO is a great gig because of the low risk.

Low risk ... not true thanks to the Sarbanes-Oxley.

A CFO is considered a "principal officer" therefore they are required to certify and approve the integrity of their company's financial reports.

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,

Bob
