Here's what is keeping Singapore's finance leaders wide awake at night

36% are stressed over available cash flow.

According to new research by recruitment firm Robert Half, more than one-third (36 per cent) of Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) in Singapore are concerned about available cash flow within their business. This figure rises to 40 per cent and 48 per cent for medium and large companies respectively.

The survey involved 2,525 CFOs and Finance Directors from 17 countries, including 150 from Singapore. Globally, 32 per cent of finance leaders are concerned about available cash flow within their business.

While finance leaders agree they rely heavily on liquid capital to keep their business running as usual, there is more variation on the reasons why they struggle to maintain a strong positive cash flow.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
