Establishing yourself in the new role
A section from "The startup CFO's road map to success"
“The CFO influences the rest of the C-suite by driving the metrics and presentation of results. They hold the management team accountable with facts.”
Establishing yourself in the new role
The most successful CFOs are those who can quickly establish a collaborative relationship with the CEO, board, and management team. They understand the key performance indicators (KPIs) that matter to their organization and work closely with the management team to achieve their goals. And they are the ones who meet regularly with key stakeholders to build trust and improve communication.
Based on our interviews and our experience, most new CFOs at VC-backed growth companies need to spend considerable time with their boards and management teams in the first few months on the job.
