2025 Financial Executives Priorities Report

After a four-year hiatus, this report returns to offer a comprehensive overview of the evolving priorities, challenges, and strategies shaping the global and U.S. finance and accounting landscape for 2025.

This year’s survey data offers a rare opportunity for comparative analysis, linking the last pandemic-era survey conducted at the beginning of 2021 with the realities of today’s post-inflationary and geopolitically complex environment. This comparison sheds light on the significant trends and challenges that financial leaders now face.

For this edition, the Financial Education & Research Foundation (FERF) partnered with report sponsor Forvis Mazars to provide expert analysis and professional clarity throughout the report, offering meaningful context to the most significant findings.
