Enabling Agility. Supporting Growth. Creating Value
The expectations placed on CFOs are shifting. Today’s finance leaders must act as strategic advisors, guiding organisations on non-financial matters that extend beyond the traditional finance function. This shift towards a value-centric role, akin to a Chief Value Officer (CVO), is driven by increasing demands from stakeholders, boards, and investors, alongside market imperatives, such as ESG and sustainability. In this changing business landscape, CFOs are now integral to creating long-term sustainable value.
