In the wake of Sarbanes-Oxley legislation and the recent economic downturn the role of the CFO has changed considerably, shifting the position’s focus away from strategy to compliance. Increased professional and personal liability moved many CFOs to opt out of their careers, forcing many companies to invest in Etonien’s mentoring services. Etonien’s resources help evaluate, mentor, and train a client’s most valued asset, internal staff, in order to avoid the time and expense of replacing them through an external search. Clients investing in mentoring services also foster a culture committed to staff development, resulting in greater employee retention and productivity.

Etonien CFOs can mentor newly promoted CFOs, advise management on strategic matters, and even train leaders on effective communication. Etonien CFO Mentors also provide an unbiased, independent review of professionals within any level of your accounting and finance department. The review process promotes improvement in performance by identifying strengths and weaknesses to determine future areas of focus.
