The latest Independent Banker magazine says there’s plenty to keep community bank chief financial officers on their toes, such as interest rate volatility, new accounting and capital reporting standards, and industry cost pressures.

Details: According to the article, which is based on responses to the 2025 CFO Outlook survey, the role of CFO has become more complex during this period of flux in the economy. For example, most survey respondents said it’s harder to grow deposits now than it was a year ago.

More: The August edition of Independent Banker also includes articles on community banks celebrating milestones, the EGRPRA review process, making payments a budgeting strategy, and more.

Access: The magazine is available on the Independent Banker website and via the digital edition. Community bankers also can subscribe to Independent Banker’s newsletter to receive the magazine via email.
