As we close out the year and plan for 2023, surveys and
statistics are plentiful. A recent study revealed what has been a
known trend. CFOs have the shortest tenure of their C-Suite
companions. Heavy is the head that wears the finance crown. There
are many contributing factors to the short stay in the role. We
have explored the causal relationships over the years and continue
to post on the various aspects of the role and finance
evolution.
The reality remains that this is the hardest position in the
C-Suite to fill, maintain, and support. The unique skill sets are
hard to come by and master. The finance transformation journey
continues into 2023 and beyond.
CFOs at the largest U.S. listed companies logged an average
term of 3.51 years in the five-year period between 2016 and 2021,
according to the study, which examined the complete filings of
2,056 companies during that period.
