Title: Moving from CPA to Controller to CFO

The terms "CPA", "Controller" and "CFO" are synonymous to some, and have widely different meanings to others.   This presentation will demystify the misconceptions associated with each of these terms and clarify the true role of each. You will gain an improved understanding of each role and be able to better identify which function you need and when based on your corporate situation.
