CFO Jobs in Needham Heights, MA

A Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in the finance industry has the primary responsibility of managing the financial actions of a company. This includes tracking cash flow and financial planning, analyzing the company's financial strengths and weaknesses, and proposing corrective actions. A CFO also plays a critical role in shaping company strategies and supporting executive decision-making processes. They oversee all financial operations, direct the organization's financial goals, objectives, and budgets, and monitor the financial performance of the company.

Before becoming a CFO, a person may have served in roles like a Financial Controller, Director of Finance, or Chief Accounting Officer. Important skills for a CFO include strong analytical, strategic planning, and leadership skills. They should also have a deep understanding of corporate finance, risk management, and financial data analysis. A CFO should have strong communication skills, as they often need to explain complex financial information to non-financial stakeholders. Certifications like CPA (Certified Public Accountant), CMA (Certified Management Accountant), or an MBA in finance can be beneficial for a CFO role.
