STATEWIDE NOMINATIONS ACCEPTED CFOs don't often receive the spotlight, but their work - ensuring the safety of the financial health of an organization - often make them the uncelebrated heroes of senior management. Budget pressures, increasing red tape, helping with tough strategic decision-making and restructuring companies in difficult times have become more common for the top finance chief. And sometimes, their efforts can mean the difference between living to fight another day or packing it up and going home. For the past five years,
Crain's Detroit Business has recognized these heroes with their CFO of the Year awards program and special section.
