On the heels of a decade of scandals and the new pressures brought on
by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, corporations expect far more from their
CFOs than simply managing the numbers. They expect decision-making
support and performance insights that can improve bottom-line results.
Unfortunately, the complexity and detail inherent in CFOs’ jobs keep
them shackled to budgeting and transaction-processing systems that
leave little time for value-adding activities.
Jeremy Hope says it’s time to redefine the role of CFOs in today’s
organizations, liberating them from ineffective number-crunching
responsibilities and enabling them to focus on helping managers
improve performance. Grounded in extensive research, Reinventing the
CFO outlines seven critical roles—from streamlining redundant
processes to regulating risk to identifying a few key measures—that
CFOs must take on in order to successfully transform the finance
operation.
Challenging many of the finance field’s accepted practices and
systems, this bold book revolutionizes the role of financial managers
and frees them to make smart, ethical, strategic decisions that add
real value to the firm.
