Although not necessarily the first thought that comes to mind, one of the primary duties of the Chief Financial Officer is to be responsible for managing the financial risks of the business. Other significant aspects of the job are financial planning and making financial reports to management. Increasingly, there is an additional contemporary duty – to communicate financial performance and forecasts to the analyst community.

Clients receive the benefit of our extensive background: our partners are experienced in internal, external and SEC financial reporting, treasury management, working capital management, tax compliance and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX 404) compliance.
