Are you a CFO who is ready for a new challenge, or know one who is? After the last couple of years in the banking industry many are feeling it is time for a change, in fact 60% of employees are dissatisfied to one degree or another with their current company.

Many very good executives are looking for that change, a new challenge where they can be the catalyst, part of a dynamic executive team ready to be at the forefront as we come out of the carnage and uncertainty of the last couple years.

If you are one of those looking to become part of the strategic vision, “the catalyst if you will”, then this might just be the opportunity for you. Reality will still mean rolling up the sleeves as we rebuild and grow those critical functions to their needed levels…..and add the staff & technology to be at the forefront of the recovery.
