In this episode of The Diary of a CFO: Live in Atlanta, I sat down in person with Chad Gold, 2022 CFO of the Year by the Atlanta Business Chronicle. We talked about why he left the stability of big companies for the risk of startups.
His "lines not dots" principle for building the relationships that shape your career. His 30-60-90 day playbook for walking into a new CFO role. Why he believes the CFO should be leading AI inside the company, not the CTO.
How his team cut the month-end close process by 50% and is going for another 50%. The SEC agent his team built that reviews contracts for revenue implications in minutes instead of hours. How they automated daily cash reporting with Claude. And the lesson his boss drew on a whiteboard at Home Depot that changed how he thinks about career growth forever.
This is part of The Diary of a CFO: Live in Atlanta, a limited in-person series where I sit down with CFOs and senior finance leaders right here in Atlanta.
