Our earlier piece on why CFO searches take nearly four times longer than any other finance role looked at the recruiting side of that 34.1-day average: the smaller candidate pools, the extra stakeholders, the board-level diligence that stretches the timeline. This piece is about the other side of that number, what actually happens inside a…
