IN 2023, 88 NEW CFOs WERE RECRUITED, which is 29 more than in the previous year.

The trend shows an inclination towards selecting complex or group CFOs, who are frequently involved in strategic decision-making and also serve as acting CEOs.

Locally and PE-owned companies placed 57% of new financial managers and directors, while corporations dominated recruitment in 2021 and 2022.

A majority of CFOs, 51%, were hired from outside their industry in 2023.

CFO roles are predominantly held by men, particularly in companies with a turnover of over 5 billion CZK. Ladies in finance management are more common in companies with a turnover of up to 1 billion CZK.
