“CFOs should be able to: • Communicate dearly; • Provide leadership in day-to-day operations; ” Manage resources and fmances; • Build coalitions; • Create a positive organizational culture; and • Maintain strong physician relations. Communicate clearly.”(Doody 2000) All of these attributes will aid with getting funding that we need.

Also they would let me know when we are over budget and how the first year might look like financially. because I would need someone to assist with the pricing of services and other important decision making matters of the pharmacy.
