Superior Skills & Experience, On-Demand

The Chief Financial Officer’s (CFO) responsibility in a business is critical because they are fully responsible for a company’s financial management, usually supported by a strong team of accountants and bookkeepers.

They report directly to the CEO and the board of directors in large companies and are often second in command to the CEO in most large corporate structures. They frequently earn six-figure incomes with generous benefits packages. So, they are certainly not an average accountant.

They also have many other responsibilities which fall under four broad headings:

1. Their most important task is to oversee the veracity and completeness of the company’s business accounting information, which is the data that forms the basis for the company’s Audited Financial Statements. The CFOs job requires sharing data with senior management teams to ensure all their decisions a foundation of accurate information, which has been scrupulously reviewed and analyzed.
2. It’s also the CFOs obligation to provide accurate financial data to the CEO, the board of directors, and senior management. This information will include in-depth analysis and the potential impact on the company, as well as regulatory requirements of any decisions they make.
3. One of the primary areas a CFO is responsible for is compliance, which includes tax calculations, payments, mandatory government fiscal reports, public financial announcements, and reports to shareholders. This is a very complex and critical area that traditionally takes up a large proportion of a CFOs calendar.
4. At every level of management in a large company, informed decisions are only possible if they have a foundation in the CFOs current financial data. It is the CFOs responsibility to decide who can access the data to ensure its security.

Most small and medium-sized businesses can’t afford a full-time CFO, especially in the early stages of building the company; however, that’s the point at which a business needs the best possible financial direction.
