How to Lead in the Age of AI

Insights from the 2025 Global Finance Leaders Survey

AI is no longer a future consideration for finance — it's the defining factor separating high-performing teams from those falling behind. Based on a survey of 751 finance leaders across seven countries, this report reveals how CFOs and finance leaders are adopting AI, navigating digital transformation, and reshaping their teams to meet a new standard of strategic leadership.

Learn how to:

  • Understand the three finance leadership approaches — Expander, Catalyst, and Protector — and how each is incorporating AI into their strategy.
  • See where AI investment is accelerating — 63% of finance leaders are already investing in AI and machine learning, with 26% more planning to within 12 months.
  • Use AI to close the capacity gap created by understaffing, growing complexity, and rising strategic expectations.
  • Build a future-ready finance team by prioritizing digital savviness and AI familiarity alongside traditional financial skills.
  • Identify the technology investments that will help finance leaders meet challenges head on and sustain competitive advantage.

The finance leaders who embrace AI now will define the function for years to come. Download this report to see what the data reveals — and what it means for your strategy in 2025 and beyond.
