Sage’s latest research "The Redefined CFO" investigates how finance leaders today take a more holistic approach with a reliance on data to engage with the wider strategic priorities of organisations. Stepping out from the shadow of the CEO, the CFO has become a hub of business information - diversifying their expertise, recruiting the right talent, and ensuring they implement emerging technologies and purpose-driven programs to remove friction and deliver insights. The Chief Future, Facilitative, and Fairness Officers represent this new breed of CFO. The research featured in The Times’ recent Raconteur supplement including comments from Sage’s CFO Jonathan Howell: "The growth of chief facilitative officers is notable. CFOs are typically viewed as keepers of the purse, but the reality is much more nuanced.” The article can be found on
page 12 of the Raconteur supplement.
