MENLO PARK, Calif. – Looking for high job satisfaction? Consider becoming a Chief Financial Officer. A new survey developed by RHI Management Resources, a consulting services firm, finds that many chief financial officers are quite happy with their jobs. Thirty-six percent of finance executives say they plan to stay in their current jobs with 32% hoping their next move will be retirement. Only 10% of CFOs cited starting their own business as a goal, although these numbers increased when funding of the new company was not a factor. The survey was conducted by an independent research firm and includes responses from 1,400 CFOs from a random sample of U.S. companies with more than 20 employees.
