Of the 250 respondents surveyed in February 2021, 31% plan to minimize real estate and facilities expenses over the next year, while 32% plan to permanently decrease their company's real estate footprint.

The survey shows that finance leaders found unexpected upsides over the past year: more than 60% of CFOs pointed to improved flexible and remote work environments at their companies - and more than 40% reported improved collaboration.

56% of CFOs said they plan to use software solutions to track ESG investment.

"Striking a balance between solving immediate needs and longer-term technology investment that can transform a company is a critical challenge," said Santilli.

Among companies over $1 billion in revenue, 55% expected tax changes to have a negative impact, while only 29% of companies with revenues between $101 and $500 million felt the same.

CFOs were also concerned about policy matters: almost 70% of respondents felt that the lack of policy consistency in Washington will at least somewhat negatively affect their ability to plan future investments.
