Advancement Prospects
Chief financial officers are the top financial executives at their companies, and this career ranks among the highest positions at a company. As a result, advancement opportunities are somewhat limited. Some CFOs advance to the position of chief operating officer or chief executive officer, or they are appointed to their company’s board of directors. Others advance by receiving higher salaries and bonuses or by moving on to work for larger or more prestigious employers.
