CFO of the Year - 2020
With high responsibility for financial transactions and actions of a company, a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) performs duties like cash flow tracking and planning the finances, besides critically analyzing the strength of the finances, and where the weak links are involved. Following this, the CFO's are extremely thoughtful about making corrections, also maintaining on-time accurate finance reports from the accountants and treasurers. Although the final decision about an investment is completed by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a company, yet the divisions, where the investments are profitable, are structured by the CFO beforehand, presenting the plans to the CEO following the structuring. Working in collaboration with higher-level managers, a CFO's inclusion on every expense made and every income earned is essential. Instances suggest that any campaign launched by the marketing team of a company, or any in-office expenditure incurred, have in-depth insights from the CFO, about the availability of funds, or whether the investment is feasible or not. Studying the market, a CFO and its team predict value propositions for the company. It is the ever-important task as the onboarding of client initiatives starts right with it. According to expert CFOs, the qualities that differentiate a topnotch CFO are leadership (communicate with others and show them the pathway), operations (unique ideation about the business segments of the company the CFO works for), controls (regulation and legality), and strategy (planning about successful businesses). These are the building blocks for a CFO to execute successful strategies. In this issue of the CEO Insights magazine, we have shortlisted such dynamic CFOs that are driving business growth. The listing, titled `CFO of the Year - 2020', represents the names which are selected after thorough research and scrutiny by the leading CEOs, VCs, industry veterans, and the CEO Insights Magazine Editorial Board.
