CFO Turnover Is on the Rise: Here’s Why It Matters
November 25, 2024 – The CFO seat is hotter than ever. Nearly 9% of CFOs at publicly held companies transitioned out of their roles in the first half of 2024 alone. This growing turnover isn’t just a trend—it’s a signal of how much the role is changing.
