Finance and technology go hand in hand within companies today. CFOs in particular need expertise in many areas other than accounting and finance particularly in technology because companies are increasingly expecting CFOs to provide insight into the value of new systems and make recommendations on technology related investments. Being directly involved with not only strategy and operations is just half of the job, CFOs are also crucial in providing direction on pricing, cost cutting, and the restructuring of some business units. Other than technology more and more CFOs are using their knowledge of legal, sales, and marketing to help them do their jobs better.
