The Future CFO – Episode 2

How has the CFO role evolved from financial controller to strategic partner, and what does it take to stay relevant in a rapidly changing world?

In this episode of our webinar series, we share insights from the latest Finance Labs survey, where 100 US CFOs were interviewed at the middle of 2025.

We explore how the finance function has become more proactive, how often insights are shared across the organization, what is at the top of the CFO’s agenda for 2025, and whether investments in AI are being prioritized.

Together with two leading CFOs, we discuss how their roles have evolved in practice and what it takes to continue creating value across the organization.

Panel:

• Amy Gililland Acosta, CFO at Lighthouse Consulting
• Alexander J. Freeman, CFO at Wursta

Moderator:

• Frida Ahrenby, CMO at Rillion
