In this follow-up study to 2007's The Superstar CFO, underwritten by SAP, CFO Research Services explores companies' ongoing efforts to transform the corporate finance function into a true value-added partner to the business. During the recession, CFOs focused on restructuring organizations and streamlining processes to lower costs. As markets start to recover, they now are building on the gains their companies have made to plan for renewed growth. In this, today's CFOs continue to develop their financial expertise, their understanding of their companies' markets and businesses, and their relationships throughout the enterprise to remain "the best business partner" to both the CEO and their operations colleagues.
