Corporate Finance & Accounting Talent Study (2025)

Benchmark Study (2025)

The purpose of the 2025 corporate finance and accounting (F&A) talent study was to identity how Controllers, CFOs and related executives are effectively managing corporate F&A talent, with such challenges as talent shortages and skill gaps, evolving hybrid work environments, rapidly changing business, economic, political and technology environments, and more.

A national survey was conducted from May to July 2025, with more than 300 respondents participating across North America. Importantly, this year’s study benchmarks prior studies to identify trends, uncover insights and opportunities.

This annual study covers a broad range of talent topics including hiring plans, work models, F&A compensation and benefits, talent shortages, recruiting and retention strategies, training, outsourcing and more. The study includes respondents in only F&A executive roles (Controllers, CFOs, VPs, CAOs, etc.), all company sizes and types (private, public, non-profit), 31 industry categories, and across all North American geographies, per classification demographics.
