Is a CFO higher than a CEO?

[Samuel]

I am a little confused between ceo and cfo. And who is higher in terms of salary, position and responsibility.

No, the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) is the top leader of a company, while the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) reports to the CEO and focuses on finances.

The CFO is not superior to the CEO, no. The most senior executive is the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) who makes key corporate decisions. The CFO (Chief Financial Officer) serves as a report to the CEO and is concerned with financial activities of the company.
