The role of a CFO is multifaceted. It’s a role that is much more than just numbers! You may ask yourself, what does a CFO really do? Here’s a football analogy to break it down: 🏈 The Board of Directors (BoD) is the coach. 🏈 The CEO is the quarterback. 🏈 The CFO? They’re the statistician, announcer, and cheerleader- all rolled into one. 💡 Statistician: Data-Driven Decision Maker The CFO provides the data and analysis that guide decision-making, but it doesn’t stop there. They’re the voice of what nobody else is considering. For example, when analyzing the financial impact of a 20% workforce reduction, the CFO doesn’t just calculate payroll savings. They raise critical questions: *What are the offboarding costs? *How might the morale of the remaining team impact operations? *What’s the cost to rehire talent in 6 months or a year? *How could this affect revenue from a reduced ability to deliver products or services? 💡 Announcer: Business Storyteller A CFO updates stakeholders; whether it’s the BoD, CEO, or investors. On how the business is progressing toward its goals (the end zone). In high-stakes moments, they may provide weekly updates with critical KPIs to ensure everyone has the insights they need to act quickly. 💡 Cheerleader: Executive Sounding Board Every CEO has unique priorities. A great CFO not only understands them but also rallies the executive team around a shared vision. They’re there to push, support, and inspire the team to achieve its goals. 👉 The Bottom Line: A CFO is a strategic partner, storyteller, and decision-making powerhouse. Their job goes beyond balancing the books. They drive the playbook for success, ensuring every move gets the team closer to the win.

What makes POMteam so wonderful? During a recent client interview, we were asked this simple question. The question caught us off guard. After all, we’re not a company that likes to toot our own horn. We focus on doing the work and delivering results. But the question wasn’t random. It came from a glowing referral that praised our attention to detail, our ability to solve complex problems, and the genuine care we bring to every engagement. What makes us wonderful? It’s not just about striving for perfection. It’s about the authentic relationships we build with our clients, the deep expertise we bring to the table, and our commitment to being a trusted partner in critical decision-making.
