“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.
