The role of the CFO is:

1. Transition the company from basic cash financials to GAAP based (or equivalent outside the US) including the completion of audited financials on an annual basis

2. Implement scalable financial processes and systems to support the growth of the company

3. Ensure that the company is compliant with various government and legal requirements

4. Facilitate the deployment of key operational processes and systems to support the growth of the company (such as, a robust budgeting process or an HR system)

5. Develop the board, CEO, senior team level operational dashboards

6. Facilitate the operational reviews across all functions of the company to help the senior team in setting strategies and goals

7. Support the company exit strategy by representing the company externally to media, government agencies, funding agencies, and the public
