The New CFO Toolkit

The CFO’s job has changed faster than the résumés built to fill it. AI and other emerging technologies are accelerating the transformation of finance, while the CFO’s role continues to expand across the enterprise. The next generation of finance leaders will need a different foundation than the ones who came before them: more technology fluency, more cross-functional influence, and more comfort operating outside finance’s traditional lane. So what should aspiring CFOs be doing differently, starting now? Today’s top CFOs look back on their own paths and share what they’d learn earlier, where they’d push themselves harder, and what they’d change if they were starting over.
