Finance leaders are sprinting into the future — and redefining the organization as they go.
The 2025 Work Trend Index reveals that finance is fast becoming the model for “Frontier Firms,” where human-AI teamwork unlocks new levels of capacity, precision, and impact. With 70% of CFOs already using AI regularly — and the majority trusting it for high-stakes decisions — finance teams are embracing digital labor as a powerful new growth engine.
Agents are transforming workflows, expanding employee scope, and reshaping roles. As digital teammates multiply, CFOs are preparing their people to become “agent bosses,” capable of delegating, optimizing, and scaling outcomes through AI.
The takeaway? Finance isn’t just adapting to the future of work — it’s building it.
