“The weakest person at the table, all too often, is the
financial guy from the company.” Attorney, major
All bank negotiations should be considered strategic, as
invariably, each agreement with a lender becomes the precedent for the next one.
When a chief financial officer’s skills are primarily accounting-centric and
experience is mainly in operations, systems and controls, supplementing those
skills and experience with the talent of an experienced advisor/mentor will
optimize results for both the short and long term.
