CFOs saw an increase in pay last year as responsibilities for non-financial issues, including operations and strategy, expanded, sources say. Moreover, the Covid-19 pandemic is driving a redoubled focus on operations and emergency planning from CFOs, and some companies are bringing in battle-hardened finance veterans to tackle the issues related to the crisis.
