How are CFOs adapting, investing, and leading in the age of AI? Our new report shows how finance leaders are shaping not just financial strategy, but the entire business trajectory.
In our Tech CFO Survey 2025, published in partnership with Harmonic Finance, we explore how finance leaders are navigating this pivotal technological moment. The modern CFO is no longer just monitoring financial performance – they are becoming a key player in strategic growth.
Nearly half of European tech CFOs expect AI to fundamentally transform their role within five years – yet less than 1% have fully embedded these technologies today. This gap reveals both the scale of change ahead and the opportunity for those ready to seize it.
While AI promises to revolutionise financial operations, the reality is more nuanced. CFOs are embracing change, but real progress, the data shows, requires not only investment in technology but also in people, skills, and cross-functional collaboration.
Beyond technology, the report explores the evolving dynamics of compensation and influence. CFO compensation packages remain strong – from competitive salaries and bonuses to equity stakes – reinforcing their growing strategic value.
Only 12% of CFOs said that they felt confident in the UK economy. Yet rather than retreating, they are doubling down: investing in AI capabilities, scenario planning, and strategic growth to future-proof their businesses.
Tech CFOs are at the forefront of this transformation. As they embrace AI and expand their strategic influence, they’re not just adapting to change; they’re leading it.
This report was launched at the CFO Forum 2025, which explored how today’s finance leaders are preparing for tomorrow’s economy.
