As a CFO, you\u2019ll lead business strategy, develop revenue streams, and find funding. There is no required career path to take in order to become a CFO. Instead, you should earn appropriate degrees and gain broad experience.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Earn an appropriate bachelor\u2019s degree. Most CFOs have a background in business, economics, finance, or management. Don\u2019t worry about the quality of your undergraduate institution.<\/li>\n<li>Get an MBA. Consider obtaining an MBA if you want to work at a large corporation as a CFO. \u2022A graduate degree isn\u2019t a requirement. It all depends on the complexity of the business and its needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, a graduate degree will help you rise to the top if you want to work at a large company.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Earn appropriate certifications.<\/li>\n<li>Find an industry you enjoy. You won\u2019t move out of school immediately into a CFO position. For this reason, you\u2019ll need to work 5-15 years in other jobs, and you should choose an industry you are passionate about. Many CFOs work in the following fields:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211; Investment banking<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Public Accounting<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Consulting<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Private banking<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Money management<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Work as a controller. Many CFOs work as controllers before moving on up. A controller focuses on producing financial statements and accounts receivable or accounts payable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Because of this accounting experience, they are often great candidates to become a CFO. Make sure your accounting experience is as broad as possible. Gain experience in budgeting, planning, and financial systems.<\/li>\n<li>However, a CFO\u2019s job requires more strategic thinking a controller position, so simply doing excellent work as a controller is no longer enough. Instead, gain experience in operations, investor relations, and leadership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Gain treasury experience. If a CFO doesn\u2019t rise through the controller ranks, they tend to come up through the treasury department. Consider getting experience in the following treasury functions:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211; Planning and operations. In these jobs, you engage in risk forecasting, pension planning, and strategic development in coordination with the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Funding and capital markets. Manage short-term and long-term investments and ensure the business has adequate liquidity. You might also ensure contracts do not unduly constrain your business.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Corporate governance. Work with internal and external auditors and ensure accurate transactions and audit trail.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Stakeholder relations. Perform risk analysis for the board and manage relationships with investors, banks, and credit rating agencies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manager\u2019s Office<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>HR &amp; Training Dept<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curabitur lacinia metus vitae odio euismod, sit amet cursus ipsum tincidunt.
