At NowSecure, financial leadership is anchored in making financial performance predictable to enable nimble decision-making and targeted experimentation. For Chief Financial Officer Daniel Moskowitz, building faith in financial stewardship was a driving force for the board of directors, company leadership and employees. Predictability means a disciplined, consistent approach to defining recurring revenue (ARR), efficiency metrics and proactive financial controls. In a SaaS company where valuation, hiring and growth decisions depend on reliable forecasts, clarity in those areas determines whether leadership can act with confidence. Daniel treats financial predictability as a sign of structural health rather than a quarterly aspiration. When non-GAAP recurring revenue reporting is clear and stable, when revenue per employee reflects disciplined headcount decisions and when gross margin holds well against benchmarks, leadership gains visibility into what is sustainable and what is temporary. That visibility reduces uncertainty and clarifies operating criteria and expectations across the company. It is this disciplined focus on financial rigor and predictability that led Manage CFO to recognize Moskowitz as one of its Top CFOs of 2026. The recognition reflects leadership that rebuilt forecasting reliability, strengthened operating metrics and positioned growth around measurable, consistent criteria rather than loose or unfounded assumptions.

EDITORIAL
Building Predictability into Modern Finance
Our cover story, Daniel Moskowitz, CFO, NowSecure, recognized as the CFO of the Year 2026, reflects a model of financial leadership built on consistency and measurable discipline. At NowSecure, Moskowitz established clear definitions of recurring revenue, strengthened forecasting accuracy and aligned operating metrics with business outcomes to restore organizational confidence. His focus on revenue per employee, sustained margin performance and proactive financial controls repositioned finance as an embedded system of accountability. By introducing a continuous reset mindset and shifting growth toward scalable distribution channels, he enabled expansion without proportional cost increases while maintaining stability and clarity.
Christopher DeAngelis, VP, Enterprise Fraud Strategy and Prevention, Zelis, brings a risk lens to this discipline, detailing how dormant provider takeovers exploit gaps in financial and operational controls through synthetic identities and automated billing systems. His focus on AI-driven monitoring, graph analytics and stronger identity verification reinforces the need to detect and contain threats before they scale.
In parallel, Luis Juarez, Vice President of Accounts Payable, Global Shared Services, FirstService Residential, grounds this in execution, emphasizing cross-functional alignment, structured planning and real-time metrics to drive consistent outcomes. His measured approach to AI adoption reflects the same priority— integrating technology without compromising control, compliance or operational stability.
Across these viewpoints, finance is positioned not as a reporting function, but as the mechanism that stabilizes growth, surfaces risk and drives execution. We encourage you to engage with the insights in this issue and evaluate how these approaches can strengthen financial decision-making within your organization.
