While emphasizing specific guidelines on what it takes to excel as a company's head of finance, the book refrains from overwhelming dryness by using cultural references, real-life examples, and a casual tone. With its bite-sized, easy-to-read chapters, CFO Techniques serves as both an invaluable desktop reference handbook and a good bedtime read. Whether you need a quick recommendation on treasury procedures, adhering to GAAP, keeping funds safe from embezzlers, or advice on dealing with the CEO, you will find the answers in this book.

• Guides you through CFO/controller core responsibilities, function by function
• Serves as a reference manual on financial matters specific to the small and mid-size commercial environment
• Goes beyond finance and accounting, addressing the administrative and behavioral issues all CFOs occasionally must address
