CFO Pilot Newsletter

The 1st CFOPilot Newsletter!!

Published 17 days ago • 1 min read

This is the very first newsletter for CFOPilot.com!

These newsletters will not be long essays/guides/etc, but rather updates of the new things I am adding to the CFOPilot.com website and what I think other finance/accounting professionals should be reading and will want to see.

The website is in progress, but ultimately it will be a library of the best resources for finance leaders.

I have three asks:

  1. Forward this email to your finance/accounting colleges and tell them to subscribe. It will make them more efficient and better...
  2. Tell me what you want me to add to the website
  3. Send me your templates, models, policies, etc! I want to build the library of these up (and have multiple versions for various use cases). If you want the glory, I will add your name on the website as who made it but otherwise it can be anonymous.

Hey Friends, Goldman Sachs just released a great macro view of the software market. Below are some select slides and commentary from me. Market has been a crazy roller coaster.
