Modern CFOs need to overlook accounting, financial reporting, operations, financial strategy, and even financial teams. There are many aspects of the role, and it's not easy handling them effectively. Brian Hayes, Chief Financial Officer at NOW CFO, has some nuggets of wisdom on how to manage everything successfully.

Brian has over twenty years of leadership and management experience and has managed operations and accounting for small to multi-million dollar businesses. Before joining NOW CFO, he worked in small manufacturing (job costing), import/export from Brazil and the Philippines, product sales price modeling, inventory management across multiple states, small business and personal tax returns preparation, and financial statements. 

Brian has also been an owner of a business that provided bookkeeping services. Today, he shares how a CFO can get better visibility into a company's financial performance and how to improve accounting processes and financial reporting.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Why do CFOs need to understand business operations?
- What does a roll-up-your-sleeves approach to financial consulting entail?
- How to get better visibility into your company's financial performance?
- How can CFOs improve the accounting processes and financial reporting?
