What is a typical CFO job description?

I’ve been reading up on the CFO job description and wanted to get some real-world insights from this community.
What exactly does a Chief Financial Officer do on a daily basis? Is their role more focused on financial strategy, budgeting, risk management, or something else entirely? How involved are they in the overall business operations and decision-making process

The usual job description of a CFO (Chief Financial Officer) is to monitor financial strategy within a company, plans and reports. The tasks are associated with the budgeting, cash flow and investments, regulation compliance, financial data analysis, controlling business, and leading finance departments. Leadership requires provision of growth opportunities as well as the management of risks to the executives and this is done by the CFO too.
