How can bold CFOs reframe their role to optimize performance?
The EY Global DNA of the CFO Survey from June 2023 focuses on the evolving role of CFOs amidst financial paradoxes and the drive for long-term value creation. Key findings highlight three main paradoxes: balancing short-term results with long-term investments, navigating the tightrope between risk and bold transformation, and aligning CFOs' evolving roles with traditional skill sets. Successful CFOs are adapting by focusing on cultural transformation, leveraging technology and advanced analytics, and nurturing future finance leaders. This pivot not only addresses immediate financial tensions but also sets a foundation for sustained organizational growth and leadership development, marking a shift towards strategic, data-driven, and people-focused leadership within the finance function.
