ADVISORY BOARD SESSION
(EX-OFFICIO BOARD SESSION©)

In this session each member presents their most pressing business challenge to the other members in their CFO group. From this “ex-officio” board of directors, members obtain constructive advice from other CFO’s who have successfully tackled similar issues. 

The net result is a significant reduction of the “CFO Learning Curve” on the issues that are critical to the growth and profitability of your company.
