Tag: Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Digital technologies have not only altered the way in which financial services and operations are delivered, but also caused a culture shift in Finance. The role of finance executives and professionals has changed from bean counter, to information broker and more, causing people to relate in new ways according to their expanded roles.

Up until a few years ago, digital transformation was not high on the agenda for most finance chiefs. Though they recognised that IT was important, most CFOs thought of digital as a technology play, a channel strategy or a customer experience concern.

The role of the CFO has evolved dramatically in recent years, especially with finance and IT becoming more connected than ever before. Besides managing the company’s finances from top to bottom, CFOs now have many new responsibilities to fulfil.
