If you’re applying for CFO positions, you’ll need to demonstrate skills in financial analysis and reporting, forecasting, portfolio management, and mergers and acquisitions. You should also emphasize a strong background in auditing or accounting, including a business or finance degree and often a professional finance or accounting qualification like Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountant (CIMA), or Certified Management Accountant (CMA) accreditation.
