What is the ideal relationship between a newly hired finance controller and an incoming cfo

Anonymous

Trying to view the risks/return as a newly hired financial controller (less than 5 months), whom at hire date was informed that a cfo was been also resourced. Now a cfo has signed on to assume office in 7 weeks. We all know that new cfo's typically bring on controllers and other staff whom they have worked with previously. Any suggestions on what this controller should do?

Assuming you don't have an employment agreement....

Meet with the new CFO and have a frank wide ranging discussion as to both the issues you see at the firm; what you have done to mediate them and then your background.

Good luck!
