What Is On The Minds Of CFOs?

2022 was an eventful and tumultuous year that will long be remembered for aggressive Fed tightening, the Russia and Ukraine conflict, the cryptocurrency meltdown, and a sharp reduction in IPO and SPAC activity. 2023 is expected to be no less volatile. So how are finance executives thinking about next year? We recently surveyed finance executives for their perspectives on a variety of topics ranging from the state of the economy to their role as a CFO and the evolving finance organization. The responses provide a glimpse into the changing demands on public and private CFOs and their priorities for this year.

To no surprise, our survey revealed that the role of a CFO is already one of the hardest jobs in corporate America, and it's only getting harder.
