The Covid-related uncertainty has resulted in CFOs being asked to do more and more. Many would argue this is nothing new; however, the message ‘less time in the weeds – more time looking ahead’ is more important than ever as CFOs seek to restructure areas such as FP&A, treasury and financial reporting, to get them fit-for-purpose and to deliver optimum results.
CFOs have had to become comfortable with uncertainty, drive change, adapt to survive, pivot quickly, ditch the tried and tested, and be more accepting of radical solutions. Whilst no one is advocating a complete reversal of their instinctive conservatism, there are clearly occasions when a ‘low-risk/no-risk’ default position may not be best.
