The study

Who runs the back office? Finance, IT and the Office of the CFO at sponsor-backed middle-market companies.

We are asking 200 CFOs and operating partners in manufacturing, distribution, services, consumer and healthcare how finance and IT actually work at their companies. Contributors see their answers against their peers before anyone else does.
