So, you want to become a CFO or you’re thinking adding CFO advisory services to your firm’s list of services, but what exactly is a CFO and what do they do?
This week Roger chats with Adam Lean, co-founder of TheCFOProject.org, who has also had experience building and selling companies, as they discuss about what a CFO is and what it means to be a CFO.
Adam shares his story of how he got into accounting and then into business, building up his e-commerce business at the start of the internet age to where he was making a million dollars in sales.
Adam says his accounting background and his knack of understanding numbers was key to the success of his businesses. This then led him to offering his services as an outsourced CFO for smaller businesses.
He goes into detail as to what it actually means to be a CFO, why businesses need a CFO and why accountants and bookkeepers should consider becoming one.
He also shares how you can get started becoming or offering CFO services and how you can convince your clients they need the service. Adam also shares details about his membership program.
