What does the finance function of the future look like?

The evolution of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) into a more value-centric role, akin to a Chief Value Officer (CVO), is an essential element of building a finance function of the future. 

In addition to fulfilling core responsibilities, such as compliance and reporting, navigating tax and regulation, and driving growth, today’s CFOs must act as strategic leaders, advising organisations on non-financial aspects depicted in our interactive CVO wheel below. Each one of these responsibilities is key to creating value, enabling agility, and supporting the growth of an organisation.
