5. Mentoring

The role of the CFO has changed considerably after implementation of the Sarbanes Oxley legislation. In fact, many CFOs have opted out of their career as a result of the accelerated focus on compliance rather than strategy and increased personal and professional liability. When this occurs, clients are turning to Etonien to help evaluate, mentor, and train their most valued asset - their internal staff.

Many clients intend to retain their employees at all cost and aim to avoid the time and expense of replacing them through an external search. Clients that invest in mentoring services also foster a culture that is committed to developing its people, resulting in greater productivity.

Etonien provides an unbiased and independent review of any level professional within your accounting and finance department. In reviewing these areas, we also look at strength and weakness, as well as advising on suggested areas of focus. As part of this process, Etonien will assist in driving further improvements in performance.
