Choose the right perspective
Match the CFO's firm to yours by service line and size, since a large multidisciplinary firm and a smaller specialist engineering practice manage projects, billing and capital differently. Look at each person's other listed roles too, which show whether their background is in controllership, treasury, legal or another industry.
Questions to take into the conversation

- 02How do you manage working capital when clients pay on long project billing cycles?
- 03What financial information do you give partners or owners to support decisions on growth and acquisitions?
