With this backdrop, the objective of the Corporate Finance Upskill/Reskill Study is to identify how Controllers, CFOs, and their respective counterparts have adapted to the Great Resignation staff shortages, along with remote and hybrid workplaces.

The survey uncovers some fascinating dynamics and trends, not the least of which is the emergence of training, Upskilling/Reskilling as high priority and ongoing initiatives.

Organizations and corporate finance departments continue to adopt a variety of cloud-based systems and software solutions, along with increased automation of manual and time-consuming tasks to reduce workloads and staff burnout.

Of course new systems, software, and automation initiatives require staff training, or Upskilling and Reskilling to achieve success.

Our national survey was conducted in February to April 2022, and queried more than 200 Controllers, CFOs, and other corporate finance professionals across North America.
