Last week I wrote that No Employer wants a Stale CFO. While we can agree that a Stale CFO is not desired, staying Fresh takes hard work. The most important thing for a CFO to do to stay Fresh is to budget.

Yet many CFOs do not keep themselves fresh.

Sounds like a silly question. Finance and HR functions are necessary organizational support functions. Companies require both Labor and Capital for success. Yet turf wars and egos impact many companies and the individuals that work in them.

Will the sometimes tenuous relationship between HR and Finance get more involved?

Last week I wrote “Does a CFO Need a Résumé?”  I don’t try

Focus has its benefits. So does the world of social media.

Working in Executive Search, I have focused on delivering human resources of the financial kind to companies for over 11 years now. For the past couple of years, I have put significant time into a sustained and targeted social media effort to let companies (new, current and previous) and CFOs know that I understand them.

You may be aware that I have another blog called CFO Moves, which tracks CFO Movement across the United States on a weekly basis. I’m happy to share my team’s research with colleagues, clients, CFOs and even competitors.

Following up to my previous blog CFOs and The Cloud, I found this infographic recently created by Altico Advisors.
