CEO vs. CFO: How Two Critical Roles Shape Strategy

From number-crunching to storytelling

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

CEOs are looking for their CFOs to go well beyond the balance sheet to serve as strategic partners who contribute to growth. This partnership is essential in driving stronger shareholder value and building more successful and resilient organizations.

To forge a strategic partnership, the CEO and CFO need to be purposefully aligned, which involves synchronizing their efforts across three key areas: strategic direction, financial oversight, and effective communication. This alignment ensures that both roles symbiotically support the company’s vision, mission, and objectives, allowing them to maximize their impact through a cohesive and unified approach.

Join us for a discussion with Oana Labes, president of Financiario, on her learnings from successful partnerships between the CEO and CFO. We'll cover:

How the CEO/CFO partnership shapes strategy.
Why KPI alignment is not enough to drive effective financial and business strategy.
The need for a skill overlap to strategically align the two roles.
Maximizing enterprise value through strategic financial planning.
