The CFO and the Business Strategy

Send us a text

The Chief Financial Officer contributes significantly to the strategic planning and execution processes of the organization. Strategy becomes a decision about choices around available resources. Where do you commit the company to go based on the resources that are available? The CFO and their teams help to evaluate key metrics in the development and then execution of the strategy. The CFO must take a strong leadership role in the formulation, analysis, and then execution of the strategy.

1. What is strategy,
2. Prefer a long-term strategy instead of operating in the short term, and
3. How the CFO adds value to strategy planning and execution.
