Get the list to learn more.   Note from the editor Every day CFOs are finding ways to solve problems or create value for their organizations. A good example is a profits interest plan that CFO Jim Harper put in pace at Goodroot, a company that tries to help bring down healthcare costs. The plan enables Goodroot to align incentives of executives who are running affiliates of the company without creating a tax event for them. The key is the timing of the revenue the company and its affiliates generate. Because the incentives are based on future, not past, company profits, the tax picture is easier to manage. It’s relatively small-scale, but it’s the kind of value-added tactic that CFOs are uniquely positioned to bring to the table.
