Apps Associates – Office of the CFO

What does the Office of the CFO (OCFO) look like in 2023? The OCFO will continue to provide leadership in strategic planning, budgeting and financial management with the goal of a high performing team that consistently delivers value and ensures financial control in the organization. On top of that we see the CFO role continuing to evolve. IT spend is embedded into almost every proposed project and CFO’s have a bigger impact in what is selected, including for their own office. As CFO’s role are elevated, they need to stay on of top business operations more so than ever, spending additional time focused on managing their resources towards activities and strategies that yield positive impact.

CFOs are involved in everything from strategic planning, data management, information technology, business planning, risk management, procurement, compliance, and other types of operational roles.  Finance is becoming one of the top ways for businesses to utilize data in the workplace.
