Struggling to Align Your CMO and CFO?

Many businesses experience friction between the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and Chief Finance Officer (CFO) due to differing priorities and perspectives. The CMO focuses on growth and innovation, while the CFO prioritises financial control and cost management. Without alignment, this can lead to disjointed strategies and missed business goals.

The Risks of Misalignment Between the CMO and CFO

When marketing and finance are not aligned, it can result in budget constraints, poorly executed marketing strategies, and difficulty measuring marketing ROI. This disconnect can hinder the company’s ability to grow, slow decision-making, and create a lack of trust between departments.
