The Strategic CFO
Governance, Trust, and the Path Beyond Compliance
Publisher Description
The Strategic CFO explores the evolving role of the CFO in today’s complex and purpose-driven world. It is written for finance leaders working in non-profit, social-sector and mission-driven organisations, where financial stewardship, accountability and sustainability matter as much as financial performance.
Drawing on real-world experience, the book covers governance, compliance, financial strategy, risk, systems, people and stakeholder engagement — and offers frameworks, tools and practical insights to help CFOs build resilient institutions, strengthen governance, navigate regulatory requirements and enable greater social impact.
Whether you are a current or aspiring CFO, a finance professional, a board member or a leader in the social sector, this book will help you rethink finance as a strategic enabler — not just a compliance function.
