How are CFOs adapting, investing, and leading in the age of AI?<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Our new report shows how finance leaders are shaping not just financial strategy, but the entire business trajectory.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our\u00a0Tech CFO Survey 2025<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, published in partnership with\u00a0Harmonic Finance<\/strong>, we explore how finance leaders are navigating this pivotal technological moment. The modern CFO is no longer just monitoring financial performance \u2013 they are becoming a key player in strategic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly half of European tech CFOs expect AI to fundamentally transform their role within five years \u2013 yet less than 1% have fully embedded these technologies today. This gap reveals both the scale of change ahead and the opportunity for those ready to seize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While AI promises to revolutionise financial operations, the reality is more nuanced. CFOs are embracing change, but real progress, the data shows, requires not only investment in technology but also in people, skills, and cross-functional collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond technology, the report explores the evolving dynamics of compensation and influence. CFO compensation packages remain strong \u2013 from competitive salaries and bonuses to equity stakes \u2013 reinforcing their growing strategic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 12% of CFOs said that they felt confident in the UK economy. Yet rather than retreating, they are doubling down: investing in AI capabilities, scenario planning, and strategic growth to future-proof their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech CFOs are at the forefront of this transformation. As they embrace AI and expand their strategic influence, they\u2019re not just adapting to change; they\u2019re leading it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report was launched at the\u00a0CFO Forum 2025<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, which explored how today\u2019s finance leaders are preparing for tomorrow\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
