“Now, more than ever, the smart finance leader is prepared for where the company is going, not where it’s been.” – Jim Johnson, CFO, Adaptive Insights, speaking in Forbes.

Today’s finance leaders must be able to make smarter decisions, rapidly. The speed of business is increasing, and advantage lies with the agile. Deloitte believe the modern CFO has four roles: steward, operator, strategist and catalyst. It is the last two that change the game, creating a 21st century finance operation and ensuring the CFO is a more valuable business partner.
