A Hard Nosed CFO and the Effect on Working Capital

This illustrates what i have been saying for years...that a tough minded CFO can accomplish so many things, including bring working capital down. By driving a better business from all departments, nay REQUIRING a better business from all departments, a good CFO should improve working capital along with a few dozen other financial measurements, just by being tough minded, hard nosed and never, ever giving up. I've done it myself and I can say firsthand that it is the most powerful tool that I can have... Being consistently demanding from operations.
