Chief Financial Officer

A CFO is one of the top executives for an organization, working closely with the chief executive officer, CEO, or president. Not only does a CFO direct financial operations, they help create company policies and goals to ensure successful operations and continued growth. A CFO creates an organization's budgets for each department and in profitable organizations, sets financial goals to ensure profitability. Depending on the size of the organization, a financial director may report to a CFO.

Financial Director

A financial director oversees and directs the financial operations for an organization. In a smaller organization, a president or CEO may take on the responsibilities of a CFO and the financial director oversees financial operations in accordance to the president or CEO's direction. In larger organizations, the financial director may report directly to the CFO. Although the responsibilities are similar to those of a CFO, a financial director is not part of the top executive team.
