The sacred relationship between the Board and the CFO Many CFOs wonder if they're showing up the way they should be at the Board table. In fact, some CFOs still ask me how they can get a seat consistently at the board table. We know the board's job is all about strategic governance and as part of that role, they identify the CEO that they need to take care of the strategic positioning of the business. The CFOs job, along with the rest of the C-suite, is all about ensuring strategic execution. However, the unique perspective that the CFO can bring to the board table is that of the investor. In fact, when the Board is supported by a top CFO they create the opportunity to cultivate ultimate investor trust. In fact, they create a business that every person and every company wants to invest in. In the 2024 CFO Annual Report, I discuss how the CFO, as the most important voice at the table can leverage the organisation to legacy through being that voice of the investor. If you're a CFO and want to learn more about how to bring the voice of the investor to your board table, comment "Y" below and we'll send you a copy of the 2024 CFO Annual Report.
