The Florida CFO Group Coffee Talk
Clarity To Cash Flow
In this CFO Coffee Talk, Marla Bace joins Florida CFO Group partner Steven W. Weldon to explore the real working relationship between COOs and CFOs—and why that partnership is often the difference between strategic intent and operational results.
Rather than theory, the conversation focuses on how alignment, decision clarity, and shared accountability reduce operational drag and support stronger financial performance. Marla highlights how organizations don’t stall because of a lack of ambition, but because responsibility and priorities aren’t clearly held.
In the conversation, Marla breaks down how COOs and CFOs work together in practice—and why that partnership is critical for building scalable, well-run organizations.
The core takeaway: clarity isn’t soft—it’s a financial lever.
This episode is especially relevant for founders, COOs, CFOs, and leadership teams navigating growth.

In this sharp, refreshingly unfiltered conversation, Marla gets brutally honest about how coaching has evolved since 2020—and why so many high-achievers are still quietly miserable. With a career spanning finance, media, and marketing, she’s been in the boardrooms, survived the buzzwords, and now helps leaders stop performing and start transforming.
