Davon Cook | Dec 16, 2020 As farms grow in size and complexity, many owner-operators find they need more robust financial expertise. Increasingly, they hire a controller or Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to take their accounting and finance acumen to the next level. KCOE-Isom, a large agricultural consulting and accounting firm and the company I work for, recently conducted a survey to benchmark compensation packages for controllers and CFOs that provides specific, timely data from a cross-section of farms. Coupling this data with what we hear in peer groups and while coaching leaders may offer insight into how to make the most of this opportunity.
