Designed for CEO’s, we outline the major issues encountered by an organization when seeking a CFO.
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, July 15, 2020 /
EINPresswire.com/ -- There’s a CFO crisis in the global economy. According to a 2015 study published by KPMG, 2/3 of surveyed CEOs believe that CFOs will increase in their significance over the next three years (which, incidentally, they have). Yet, 1/3 of those CEOs feel that their CFO is not up to the challenge. Now, this might not sound like news- CEOs putting pressure on CFOs is certainly not an unprecedented 21st century phenomenon- but it’s not just the CEOs of the world demanding more of Chief Financial Officers. It’s everyone.
Finding experienced CFO's is more important than ever. According to a 2020 study by Hunt Scanlon Media, "Experienced Chief financial officers continue to be in high demand. Finding them is keeping many of the nation’s top recruitment operations busier than ever."
There was a time when the role of the CFO was grounded in risk aversion and crisis management. They were the ones maximizing company resources, monitoring cash flow, and tempering the large-scale visions of more creative executives to ensure longevity and stability. In 2020, however, the scope of a CFOs role is radically different. CFOs are now getting wrangled into more public-facing responsibilities, developing equal partnerships wit CEOs, and taking an active role in day-to-day operational management according to longterm strategic policy.
