The CFO Alliance Releases Whitepaper: 'The CFO's First 90 Days: What Finance Professionals Need to Know and Do When Beginning a New Role'

WAYNE, Pa., October 7, 2019 (Newswire.com) - ​As the role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) continues to evolve, providing finance leaders with enhanced visibility and opportunity to more directly lead and impact employee and customer experiences, the first 90 days in a new CFO role are critical for building relationships and establishing credibility that will lay the groundwork for individual and enterprise success for years to come. 

Although there is always pressure to do 'all the right things' in the first 90 days in a new role, finance leaders must establish confidence in their capabilities and ensure that their team is engaged and aligned to the top short- and long-term strategic goals as they pertain to leading people, leading a function and leading an enterprise.

With support from The CFO Alliance and its partners, AchieveNEXT and Cadilus, 14 finance leaders from across North America gathered together to form this CFO Alliance Special Task Force (STF) – The CFO’s First 90 Days: What Finance Professionals Need to Know and Do when Beginning a New Role – including Steve Ellis, CFO, Kathy Miller, CFO, Robert Bufano, Financial Controller, Brian Registe, CFO, Daniel O’Donnell, AVP of Finance, Lowell Mora, CFO and EVP, Michael Sprouse, CFO, Stephen Voorhees, VP of Finance and Accounting, Jonathan Jachimiec, CFO, Indran Purushothaman, Finance Director, Natalya Hummer, CFO, Patrick Roesler, CFO, James T. Metzger, EVP & Global CFO, and Yvonne McGinley, CFO.

This collective serves as a catalyst for best practice sharing and to empower growth and performance for the modern finance leader. Their intention with this Report is to help fellow finance executives identify the most efficient and effective ways that they can establish their reputation as a knowledgeable and diligent leader in their first 90 days in a new CFO role by focusing on building relationships, gaining trust and showcasing their competencies and communication skills.
