The world is changing fast, and so are the roles of finance and accounting professionals. The nature of work performed by professional accountants and the nature of their contribution to organizations are rapidly evolving in response to significant business trends.

This report identifies the roles that future-fit accountants in business can fulfill to remain integral to their organizations in the coming decade based on the experiences of senior business and finance leaders, CEOs, board directors, and other stakeholders.

Senior finance leaders also share their first-hand experience performing these roles in a series of video interviews

This report is meant to be read alongside two other reports, which provide a vision for the CFO and finance function and an evaluation toolkit for boards and management teams to drive transformation of the finance function.
