A roadmap to the CFO’s first 100 days
The 100-day plan
The first 100 days in the new CFO role are critical for laying the foundation for long-term impact. Our CFO Playbook features a roadmap that outlines the key components and priority tasks that should be addressed early on to enable a smooth, strategic, and effective transition.
Executing an effective transition
Based on our experience working closely with numerous CFOs across different sectors, we have created an agenda to reflect tasks a new CFO should consider when transitioning into their new role. These tasks have been identified with the objective to create and preserve value within their organization. Many of the tasks are likely to continue well past the first 100 days on the job; the suggested timing is intended to prioritize activities to help achieve a manageable and successful transition into the role.
Target Operating Model
As you assess your finance function, using a target operating model (TOM) driven approach will provide a more holistic view. The KPMG TOM structure is based on functional processes, supported by people, service delivery model, technology, performance insights and data, and governance. When integrated together, these six design layers comprise a simple and efficient model for the TOM.
Organizations must strategically embed AI within their existing transformation initiatives, aligning it with the operating model and system architecture to enhance effectiveness.
