Only one-fifth of CFOs say their work-life balance is poor.

Despite their expanding workload and changes in the role, most CFOs in our survey rated their work-life balance as “OK” (51%) or good (29%). Chalk up adaptability and master scheduling to their superpowers. “My calendar is available to all of my reports, and I make sure to block off personal time. This helps both scheduling and influences them to take personal time as well,” a CFO shared.

From an industry perspective, Services CFOs report the best work-life balance, with 41% rating it “good,” compared to only 25% of Consumer CFOs.
