...and a Controller is a Scientist.
A Successful CFO needs creativity, personality, some acting, and an ability to lead people inside and outside the company.
A Successful Controller needs math, process and critical thinking. Personality is less important than getting the numbers done right and on time.
My previous blog post 6 Things Real CFOs Do Not Do received some significant feedback in this LinkedIn Group. The general feeling (with some exceptions) was that there is a significant difference between a CFO and a Controller, but they both need each other.
Just like any artist needs their support team to shine, a CFO is no different. Scratch any Strong CFO and you will find a strong and capable finance team and Controller.
