The CFO Report: Q2 2025
As many CFOs prepare for annual conversations with C-suite peers and business unit leaders to refresh the enterprise’s long-range financial plan, they’re considering how recent and shorter-term changes will affect the organization’s strategy. These changes include both high-impact external shifts (like the new U.S. government administration’s executive orders) and internal shifts (like spending decisions).
Use the Q2 edition of The CFO Report to update your strategy and address the top 3 CFO challenges in the first half of 2025:
- What shifts in the external environment should I prioritize responding to now
- How can I separate hype from reality when it comes to AI’s value?
- What checks should I apply to current budgeting plans?
