Being a CFO is a challenging job—in fact, it’s two challenging jobs. As a key member of the C-suite you play a critical role in formulating and executing strategy. But you also lead the finance function, a position of vast responsibility and complexity. Two recent surveys highlight this duality. Asked what keeps them up at night, CFOs cited a wide range of strategic concerns. When we asked about their top priorities for finance, the balance shifted to a list of operational considerations.
In short, today’s CFO has to be a bold visionary one minute, an unapologetic pragmatist the next.
