2013 CFO Outlook - Annual Survey of U.S. Senior Financial Executives

Raising new possibilities
Sharing insights to help companies take action

Businesses benefit most from knowledge that’s both credible and actionable.

It’s especially important now, as corporate leaders look for signs of sustained economic recovery to embolden strategies that drive meaningful innovation and growth.

Through our annual CFO Outlook study, we gain insight into what U.S. financial executives are thinking and planning for the months ahead. Assessing their collective views of the economy, sectors, their own corporate performance, and other potential activities in 2013, it’s clear that most are proceeding with cautious optimism.

An important part of sponsoring this study — as well as the full breadth of thought leadership produced by our experts worldwide — is our commitment to providing hands-on guidance. At Bank of America Merrill Lynch, we collaborate with our clients and each other every day, across all regions and disciplines.

By aggregating ideas and skill sets, and drawing on our complete range of capabilities, we help clients gain access to expertise that helps them pursue their most important objectives.
