Steve Rosvold","description":"Welcome to the Accounting Influencers Podcast, going live every Monday to 150 countries and 30,000 accounting practitioners, fintech specialists and influencers in the accountancy, CPA and bookkeeping space. \r\n\r\nIn today's episode 2 of our new season \"Do Accountants Make the Best CFOs? Steve Rosvold.\"\r\n\r\nYou can also watch this on youtube here: https://youtu.be/xp9pokrbOjQ\r\n\r\nSteve Rosvold is the Founder of CFO.University, a professional development platform for finance leaders.  He spent 20 years leading corporate finance teams honing his ability to drive change, improve profitability and ensure long-term financial health for businesses before creating an advisory practice that grew into CFO.University.    \r\n\r\nThe company\u2019s foundation is built on the four pillars of CFO success: Accounting, Finance, Treasury and Leadership and its mission is to deliver practical, performance enhancing and convenient professional development to finance leaders all around the globe.\r\n\r\nIn this episode, we discuss how accountants and CPAs are dialed into governance, financial control and historical reporting, but how this often locks them out of future focus, predictions, and analytics. If accountants and CPAs don't have the right skills, what do they need?\r\n\r\nSteve shares the four pillars of success in COF University that lead to mastery as a senior financial officer and an even stronger accountant. The Four Pillars are made up of:\r\n\r\nAccounting \u2013 Governance and Controls, Transaction Recording and Reporting\r\nFinance \u2013 Business Planning, Financial Forecasting and Investment Analysis\r\nTreasury \u2013 Cash Management, Funding (Capital Raising) and Risk Management\r\nLeadership \u2013 Self Awareness, Team Building and Strategy and Culture\r\nWe explore how the CPA or chartered accountant qualification used to be a route to CFO status and positions but no longer. And we look at what is. Lots of goodies here to help accounting professionals appreciate and even step into the financial expertise required by modern businesses. \r\n\r\nSteve lives in beautiful Vancouver, Washington and is an avid bicyclist.  On his longest one-day trek he pedaled 275 miles from Seattle to Spokane, Washington. \r\n\r\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/steverosvold\r\n\r\nhttps://www.cfo.university/\r\n\r\n\u25e3\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u2501\u25e2\r\n\r\nIf you like the show, we'd truly appreciate a review on whatever platform you listen.
