Now, generally, CFOs and FP&A Managers might spend more time connecting to business stakeholders for strategic decisions, while Controllers and Internal Auditors focus more on regulatory and compliance tasks.

Finance Analysts and Accountants are more involved in financial modeling and reporting.

These titles and responsibilities can be interchanged in some job descriptions, and the weight of these skills also depends on the industry and project.

But this breakdown is still quite helpful when planning career paths or understanding the roles within a finance department.
