NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

As finance leaders keep an eye on fluctuating tariff policies, interest rates and labor market shifts, they are also increasingly being tapped to serve as drivers of strategy at their businesses. The modern CFO must run a tight, insightful financial ship that sets up their company to weather stormy economic headwinds, while considering how to weigh current, short-term risks against long-term growth plans.

During the CFO Live 2025: The Future of Finance event coming up on Sept. 24, the CFO Dive and CFO.com teams will connect with finance chiefs and industry experts to discuss these and other trends that remain top of mind for CFOs. The virtual half-day event will include panels on the future of the accounting team, including changing Certified Public Accounting licensure requirements across U.S. states, as well as on how finance chiefs can practically utilize technologies like agentic AI.
