Profit Sense with Bill McDermott

Discussing Current Issues Faced By Business Owners

Robert shared how he supports small businesses and non-profit organizations, and gave his perspective on where business owners should focus efforts in the current economy.

"The real value of a CFO is helping companies understand their numbers; not just report what they were, and use them to help navigate the business. Looking at trends, patterns, and anomalies within the numbers can help the business anticipate 'where are we going', 'what is out there', as they are driving the business 100 mph down the road."
