This includes anything from putting out "fires"; supporting them on sales transactions and interacting with third parties on the company's behalf (investment bankers, quality of control auditors, m&a attorneys, potential buyers), helping them with business strategy, forecasts and scaling; building out business intelligence tools; filling in as interim CFO while they are looking for the permanent one. I enjoy building infrastructure or fixing it, particularly in fast-growth environments, and ensuring that the CEO has a competent co-pilot he or she can rely on.Note: During my tenure at Traffic Management, Inc., I continued with CSuite Financial Partners as an inactive partner.
