In another year of uncertainty, CFOs become paragons of business resiliency

Interest rates have largely steadied, but businesses still confront rising costs and persistent talent shortages. Slimmer organisational charts, greater productivity, and more strategic spending remain the order of the day for CFOs. Global conflicts, tariffs, and new policies add to the challenges, as they pose threats to certainty, prices, operations, and reconfigured supply chains. 

Even in the best of times, risky investments, wasteful spending, and inefficient processes should be, without question, minimised as much as possible. But organisations – especially finance – cannot ignore opportunities that could drive growth and strengthen their organisations in the long run. For CFOs and their decision-making, the key to balancing the short and the long views is an intelligent and sustainable foundation that touches every part of the business.
