The finance function is evolving at an unprecedented speed, and the relationship between CFOs and treasurers is changing with it. Treasury is no longer viewed as a back-office safeguard but as a contributor to strategy, resilience, and growth. Meanwhile, CFOs are navigating agendas shaped by investor demands, technology, risk, and talent.
Zanders’ new survey report, The New Office of the CFO: Insights from the 2025 CFO Survey, explores how both roles are adapting to pressures such as geopolitical uncertainty, digital transformation, real-time data needs, and persistent interest rate volatility. The survey uncovers areas where CFOs and treasurers are aligned, along with capability gaps that could limit impact if left unaddressed.
Treasury’s prominence has risen, driven by refinancing risk, liquidity demands, cyber threats, and board-level expectations for scenario planning and insight. Understanding how CFOs think about these challenges is key to strengthening collaboration and expanding treasury’s influence.
This webinar offers you a first look at the survey findings and what they mean for the future of treasury.
