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.

 

[Shane Warne]

No, a CEO (Chief Executive Officer) is more superior to a CFO (Chief Financial Officer). The CEO will be in charge of the entire company but the CFO is in charge of financial strategy, planning and reporting.

No, a CFO reports to the CEO. The CEO is the highest-ranking executive in a company.

No, the CEO receives reports from the CFO. In a firm, the CEO is the most senior executive.
