According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
“Employment of financial managers over the 2008–18 decade is expected to grow by 8 percent, which is as fast as the average for all occupations. The Bureau’s definition of financial managers includes treasurers, finance officers and cash managers. Regulatory changes and the expansion and globalization of finance and companies will increase the need for financial expertise and drive job growth. As the economy expands, both the growth of established companies and the creation of new businesses will spur demand for financial managers.”
