CFO Research Results 2024


This research, conducted at our CFO Retreat, subtitled New Models for Growth, provides a fascinating insight into the challenges and priorities for CFOs this year.

Key findings from Criticaleye's CFO Research: 

  • New technology and AI are a top priority for CFOs 
  • Most CFOs (80%) say it has become increasingly difficult to gain strategic alignment, over the past twelve months.  
  • Half of CFOs say they need to improve the quality of strategic debate within their Boards 
  • 60% of CFOs say their investors and shareholders are not prepared to back business model reinvention  
  • Over half of CFOs (52%) say pressure from investors and shareholders is preventing longer-term thinking
