Trying to sus out a role that is being framed as the CFO without the title.. What are some responsibilities of a CFO role that truly make you say oh yes this is the CFO, even though they may not have that title?

Some that I can think of:
Is it having the final call on all financial decisions outside the CEO?

Being the first point of contact for anything related to financial strategy or long term planning?

Key point of contact for external partners when it comes to anything financials related?

If you don’t have the title you’re not a c suite executive and are not on equal footing. Period end of story, trust me from someone who was sold the same lie

If your title is not CFO, you are not the CFO. The only thing that makes you say yes this is the CFO is if their title is CFo

If it’s the CFO without the title, why don’t they just call it a CFO? Do they already have one and if so, what are they doing?

I’d say you’re spot on with those points! A CFO, even without the title, would definitely have the final say on major financial decisions and be heavily involved in long-term planning. They’re usually the ones liaising with investors, external partners, and guiding the company’s financial vision. It’s about owning that financial strategy. But I agree with C1, if you don't have the title, you don't have the title.. so it might not make any difference.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
