"The IPO execution process is, and needs to remain, a
CFO-driven process. The CFO needs to assess all of the different
areas that need to be improved—and sometimes there are some
large holes—in order to ensure they are prepared to tackle
this major change in their business."

The World Series. You've dreamt of this day. You've
prepared to be in the best position possible so that you—and
your team—are ready when the Big Game finally arrives.
As a business leader, the CFO may not be pitching in the next
World Series, but s/he should be directing their company's IPO
(Initial Public Offering) execution process. While we know CFOs
can't control the financial markets, they can control preparing
the finance organization early and making the essential upgrades
their organization will need to move forward when market conditions
become ideal.
