As leaders, CFO’s need to be collaborative in order to be able to support the business’s strategic vision. Financial data will tell you a lot, but not everything.

·      No company is an island, we are all part of a larger ecosystem - how are you communicating with board members, key external stakeholders, vendors, customers and other to ensure success?
