If your finance department isn’t performing up to the standards you expect, and you’re not getting the desired results, Hoss says there are only six reasons:

  1. Psychological

  2. Presentational

  3. Deal Structure

  4. Salespeople don’t love you

  5. Can’t get your paper bought

  6. Administratively Dysfunctional
