What Does a Chief Financial Officer Do?

A CFO leads an organization’s financial strategy and helps executives make informed decisions.

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

Common CFO Qualifications

Employers often seek extensive finance or accounting experience, a record of leadership, and the ability to connect financial insight to business priorities. 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.
