Patrick Mataix, founder of CEO Europe, confirms : We assist an important cultural change in the financial world and hence of companies too. In this unstable environment, that has an impact on all players of the economy, from start-up to multinational, the quality, coherence and transparency of financial reporting warrants shareholders trust capital and therefore the future development capacity of the company.î

Henry Dorbes, expert partner and in charge of the development of CFO Europe, points out:
Today, a financial director doesnít just look at figures but gets fully involved in strategy and financial communication. Depending on each situation, companies must be able to rely on a manager adapted to this particular situation. With the transition the profile responds to a given problem, with the part-time , the profile can be over dimensioned. The recruitment follows suit.

With the foundation of CFO Europe, CEO Europe shows yet again its dedication to propose key solutions that are adaptable, pragmatic and easy to install.
