Pros

Consulting work generally is challenging and motivating. It's great work! The quality of work can be good, depending on which client you get. But the jobs are mostly controller-type work. Rarely if ever do they have a true CFO contract.

Cons

This is the most toxic work environment I have ever seen! The CEO frequently dives in to a state of uncontrolled rage. I've seen him do it several times. For this reason, he can't retain quality senior people without promoting them to start a new office in a new city (this is the reason for the growth). Co-workers all knew that networking contacts loved the CEO, but his employees at the home office hated him. As a business, sales and billings are first - regardless. Quality services and value added to the client are second. Professionalism doesn't exist within the company. Don't be fooled by the growth; it doesn't mean they are a successful organization.

NOW CFO Response

Thank you for your review! It’s true that some clients believe they need CFO support to bring financial visibility to their business when what they really need is a strong controller. The great thing about our model is that we can scale the assignment to the needs of our clients. That could mean more CFO type of work when they initially believe they need controller help, and visa versa too. As we are now in 28 markets, the type of work we do for our clients range and vary greatly from each market. We appreciate your comments and it’s true that when a company goes through growing pains the work environment can be stressful. NOW CFO is committed to the company culture and have made significant investments to the senior team that includes a new COO, President, CFO, head of HR and head of marketing to help manage growth and ensure that NOW CFO remains a great place to work.
