CFOwise Founder in Utah CEO Magazine

Utah CEO Magazine quotes Ken Kaufman in article: “Chief Financial Officer for Hire”.

PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, July 6, 2009 - CFO WISE Founder & CEO, Ken Kaufman, was quoted several times in a recent article published in the Utah CEO Magazine by Steve Gooch on the topic of how and when to hire a CFO.

CFOwise founder Ken Kaufman commented on this additional exposure by stating the following, “The Utah CEO Magazine is a great resource for CEO’s operating in the Utah area. The information provided in this article is not only informative to what we do at CFOwise, but also instrumental in introducing the business world to our industry.”

This article in particular provides Owners and CEO’s the information that they need in order to effectively make a decision when it comes time to decide between a part-time CFO or hiring a full-time CFO. Ken Kaufman had the following to say within the article:

“The philosophy that we work under is that every business needs a CFO, but with the concept of independent CFOs, they should all be able to afford one on an outsourced, use-exactly-what-you-need basis. Usually a company doesn’t need a CFO on a full-time basis until they hit a certain level of sales and complexity.”
