When Bill McInturf took a temporary position, he found he really enjoyed walking into a totally different business where he had the opportunity to utilize his knowledge, skills and abilities to make a difference. Wanting this satisfaction on a daily basis, he connected with CFO Systems and realized that this was an ideal forum to achieve that goal.  CFO Systems provides CFOs and Controllers across the country, targeting primarily middle-market entities.  Their clients are those who need strong financial leadership, but do not yet need a full-time CFO.  Their “timeshare” allows several entities to share the cost of a CFO, while providing the expertise and experience when they need it.
