Often the company’s president, CEO or business owner tries to fill the shoes of a CFO when there’s a problem filling this key financial position. A gap at the CFO or controller level can distract from other critical duties that require focus and attention. A middle management accountant, no matter how skilled at managing and balancing the books, cannot provide the important insight and expertise of an experienced CFO.
