Show Notes
Jimmy Robinson, CPA, CGMA, the national chair of the AICPA Dealership Conference, and his co-presenter and co-worker Jesse Stopnitzky joined the JofA podcast to preview discussion points of their conference session later this month.
Their expertise is industry-specific, but some of the topics are applicable to a broader audience. Robinson, a former dealership CFO, shared the key traits of strong finance leadership, and Stopnitzky offered advice for better succession planning.
What you'll learn from this episode:
- The aspect of M&A deals that is, to Stopnitzky, more art than science.
- How merger activity has changed since the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Robinson's list of the key traits of strong finance leaders.
- Why succession planning involves far more than naming a successor.
- Disruptive events and key shifts in the automotive industry.
