Resources

The key difference between an accountant and a CFO is that accountants are responsible for tracking the financial performance of a company, while CFOs are responsible for making strategic decisions about where to allocate the company's resources. Typically, accountants rely on financial statements and other data to make their recommendations, while CFOs may also consider things like market trends and the overall economic climate. CFOs also have a broader understanding of a company's operations, as they are typically responsible for things like financial planning, budgeting, and risk management.

The CFO is often more knowledgeable than an accountant when it comes to business and finance. They have experience looking at things from different angles, which helps them come up with plans that are future-oriented as well as modifiable by new data points.

The role of the CFO doesn't just include analyzing numbers; these professionals know how important their input can be if there's any uncertainty in the marketplace or industry climate shift causing volatility within finances . With this knowledge comes enormous responsibility - but also great power!

Of course! Our CPAs fall under Section 7525 of the Internal Revenue Code, so we treat all clients and employees of CFOAF as having that same “accountant-client privilege” as the communication between a client and the accountant's representative are protected. Although this does not extend to state court or criminal matters, any communication between a client and their accountant detailing restructuring, business transaction, tax returns, and much more are covered. The I.R.C. extends “the same common law protections of confidentiality . . . to a communication between a taxpayer and any federally-authorized tax practitioner to the extent the communication would be considered a privileged communication if it were between a taxpayer and an attorney.” [IRC 7525(a)(1)]
