Depending on the organization, the role may also oversee accounting, treasury, tax, procurement, or business operations.

A bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, business, or a related field is common; many executives also hold an MBA, CPA, or other relevant credential. Strong candidates communicate clearly, manage complex decisions, and lead teams through growth and change.
