CFO Weekly

I love a fresh tube of toothpaste. You put a ton of it on that toothbrush, and you don't care because you've got a full tube of toothpaste. But after a while, that tube isn't full anymore, so you roll it up, scrunch it, and try to get the tiniest little bit on that toothbrush. Metaphorically speaking, that's what happens when you put profit last in your business.  On this episode of the CFO Weekly podcast, Andrew Royer, a CPA, a certified general accountant, and a bookkeeper discusses why we should be putting profit first. What we talked about with Andrew: -The differences between accounting and bookkeeping -What led Andrew to the profit first model and how he knew it was he had been looking for all along -How external events topple companies more focused on revenue than profit -...And how to make your business more profitable!

Women in leadership often create better, more profitable workplaces.  Yet, as late as 2018, women held just one out of every 20 CEO spots. And in middle management, women sat in only 40% of managers' chairs despite accouting for 50% of the workforce. Yet there are clear reasons why companies should eagerly look to promote women and ensure they're engaged. What are the benefits of women in leadership? On this episode of the CFO Weekly podcast, Lydia Adams, vice president, marketing & communications at Personiv, discusses the benefits of having women in leadership roles. What we talked about with Lydia: -Facts and figures about women in leadership positions -Why more women in leadership improves a group's problem-solving abilities -Why female leaders are more trusted -The changes Millennial and Gen Z women could bring to the workplace -...And the dollar benefits a company can realize by expanding the number of women in leadership roles!

You’ve seen the stereotypes.  CFOs are nerds.  They’re calculator jockeys, sitting in the corner with their pencils and spreadsheets, holed up away from people, making the numbers work.  And while a CFO does need to be an accounting expert, they’re so much more than that.  On a recent episode of CFO Weekly, got to talk with Steven Nutt, CPA about the ever-evolving role of the CFO. We talked all about:  -The ever changing role of the CFO -Why the CFO should be the ultimate data champion -Why data is more important than ever before For more interviews from the CFO Weekly podcast, check us out on Apple or Spotify or your favorite podcast player!

Why should you send work to someone on the other side of the world?  If you do outsource, what hours will your international team be available?

The world is a strange place right now.   But regardless of the uncertainty that we’re facing, for most people, the show must go on. Work must get done - invoices sent out and books closed.  As a finance professional, have you ever wished that you could just spend time listening to other CFOs, and learning what’s working for them? Or even better, what’s NOT working for them? So that you don’t make the same mistakes?   Well you’re in luck.   Because the CFO Weekly podcast is just that.  CFO Weekly is brought to you by Personiv.Episode resources:Personiv's WebsitePersoniv on LinkedInPersoniv on FacebookPersoniv on TwitterIf you enjoyed this episode, then please either:Follow, rate, and review on Apple PodcastsFollow on SpotifyInstructions on following, rating, and reviewing CFO Weekly are here.Previous guests include: Tom McDermott, CFO at Career Certified, Claire Bramley, CFO at Teradata, Chris Miles, Founder of Money Ripples, Ranil DeSilva, CFO & COO at CARE, Jordan Grumet, Financial Independence Expert & Host of Earn & Invest & William Washington, Global CFO at Baker McKenzieCheck out some of our most recent episodes:Driving Value Beyond Finance with Tom McDermottWhy CFOs Are the Chief Everything Officers with Claire BramleyWhy Traditional Financial Advice Fails and What To Do Instead with Chris MilesNGO Finance Secrets: CARE’s $900M Strategy with Ranil DeSilvaWhat Lights You Up? with Jordan GrumetBecome a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt with William WashingtonIf you are interested in joining CFO Weekly as a guest, please complete this form: fame.so/cfo-guestCFO Weekly is handcrafted by our friends over at: fame.so
