As 2026 comes in with its promises of opportunities and advancements, the Finance function is set to confront an imposing question: how will the changing face of finance talents look like?
In a poll by Cxociety during the 3rd Annual FutureCFO Conference in Thailand, professional development opportunities emerged as the most critical factor for attracting and retaining top finance talent in the evolving workplace, highlighting the importance of monitoring the needs of finance professionals in terms of cultivating and improving on their fields of expertise.
This reflects the necessary task among finance leaders to face the current challenges surrounding various areas in the function, including that of the technical side. CFOs today are in need to deal with the shrinking traditional labor pools and growing demand for top talents, with the need to reshape their respective finance talent management strategies to keep up with the market.
This year, finance leaders are to gather to discuss and share sharper strategies, new ideas, success stories and real-world experiences to unravel the next stage of finance.
The conference seeks to find answers to have a deeper understanding of the evolving finance talent in Thailand, as well as to redefine recruitment and retention strategies to high-performing finance team--answering queries on how the future of fractional finance talent and hiring strategies in the country will look like, thereby transforming the 'lonely enterprise' into a connected workplace.
