00 - Text Form

Discover the behaviors that separate high-performing CFOs from the rest

CFOs are under pressure to move faster, lead more strategically, and deliver growth in increasingly complex environments. Traditional finance models are no longer enough to keep pace with rising expectations around data, compliance, and cross-functional influence.

New global research reveals that a distinct group of finance leaders is pulling ahead—by adopting a clear set of habits that redefine what high-performance finance looks like today.

Here’s how high-performing CFOs are redefining finance leadership: 

  • use AI and automation to shift focus from operations to growth
  • rely on data-driven decision-making to improve business outcomes
  • extend finance influence beyond traditional reporting responsibilities
  • strengthen control over compliance in complex regulatory environments
  • adopt leadership habits that correlate with stronger financial performance

Based on insights from 1,700+ finance leaders worldwide, this research report shows how adopting the right habits enables CFOs to shift from operational oversight to true growth leadership, while avoiding the pitfalls that hold legacy finance teams back.
