CFOs Anticipate Growth Despite Economic Challenges, According to FTI Consulting’s 2024 Global CFO Report

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chief financial officers are expecting growth over the next 12 months despite inflation remaining the top challenge, according to findings from a new survey conducted by the Office of the CFO Solutions practice at FTI Consulting Inc. (NYSE: FCN), in collaboration with CFO Dive.

Nearly three-quarters (74%) of those surveyed predict double-digit growth in 2024, with 33% predicting growth over 30%. The survey polled the views of more than 375 senior finance executives across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa; Asia; and Australia.

“Many of our CFO clients were prepared for a downturn last year, but recession fears seem to be easing,” said Gina Gutzeit, a Senior Managing Director and Global Leader of the Office of the CFO Solutions practice at FTI Consulting. “While inflation is still the top concern, the findings of this survey reflect optimism and the desire to end the wait-and-see approach as senior finance executives become more confident in the global markets.”

The global survey identified the following key insights:

“Complex and manual processes are a primary challenge to increasing efficiencies and can inhibit a finance organization’s ability to grow,” said David White, a Senior Managing Director in FTI Consulting’s Office of the CFO Solutions practice. “CFOs recognize this, and not surprisingly, they are turning to intelligent automation to optimize existing workflows and allow current talent to focus on more impactful analyses enhancing finance’s decision support capabilities.”
