Their CFO retired while ownership was thinking about the long-term future of the business, which made hiring a permanent replacement the wrong move.

Two years on: cash to accrual, seven years of general ledger history rebuilt, and a weekly commitment down from thirty hours to fifteen.

MAI Capital Management: A CMO Search That Became a National Marketing Organization
