CEO vs. CFO

How two critical roles shape strategy

When the CEO and CFO at a company are in tune, it’s good news for the business—and the CFO’s career.

The dynamic between a CEO and CFO can significantly influence company direction. CEOs are looking for their CFOs to go well beyond the balance sheet to serve as strategic partners who contribute to growth. They expect CFOs to own the challenges of financial transparency, risk management, and regulatory compliance, applying skills of financial foresight, strategic leadership, and real-time, data-backed business insight.

In this guide, we’ve partnered with Oana Labes, founder and president of Financiario, to share her learnings from successful partnerships between the CEO and CFO. Each page highlights a different aspect of the relationship between the two roles, including:

  • Differences in required skillsets
  • Key performance indicators for each role
  • What they each wish the other would do really well
