First 100 Days as a CFO: Setting Actions in Motion

In this final episode of the itas First 100 Days as a CFO series, I discuss navigating the 60–90 day stage of a new CFO role. In this episode, we cover:

• How to assess and ensure data integrity before making strategic decisions
• Signs of broken processes, bottlenecks, and weak control environments
• Building trust and alignment with your CEO, team, and peers
• Managing people issues and making tough but necessary team changes
• The importance of cash, liquidity, and long-term visibility in planning
• Avoiding early mistakes and setting the tone for your CFO leadership journey

Those first 100 days are critical, and the latter stages of this period are about setting actions in motion that will define your approach to being the CFO.
