Choose the right perspective
Match the CFO's type of recycling business to your own, since a metal recycler selling into commodity markets and a collection and waste hauling business face different revenue and capital questions. Also read each person's other roles, which show whether they came up through controllership inside recycling or brought finance experience from other industries.
