      abstract = {In today's globalized business environment, joint ventures (JVs) and cross-border partnerships have become essential strategies for expanding market reach, accessing new technologies, and leveraging resources across jurisdictions. However, these ventures present unique financial complexities that require strong leadership and strategic financial management. This proposes a conceptual model for CFO-led strategic finance in JVs and cross-border partnerships, emphasizing the pivotal role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in navigating the financial challenges inherent in such ventures.The model integrates key components such as financial governance, capital allocation, risk management, tax compliance, and performance metrics, all tailored to the complexities of multinational operations. The CFO’s role extends beyond traditional financial oversight, involving strategic decision-making to align financial goals with overall business objectives, manage cross-border risks, and ensure financial transparency and accountability. Moreover, the model highlights the necessity for advanced financial tools, including integrated financial models, scenario analysis, and real-time reporting systems, to support informed decision-making and long-term sustainability.This also explores the importance of leveraging technology enablers, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and advanced analytics, to streamline financial processes across borders. Additionally, it discusses the organizational and cultural considerations that influence the CFO’s ability to successfully lead strategic finance in diverse and dynamic environments.Ultimately, this conceptual model aims to provide a comprehensive framework for CFOs to enhance the financial management of JVs and cross-border partnerships, fostering better alignment, improved risk management, and stronger financial performance in international ventures. This concludes by offering practical recommendations for CFOs and highlighting future research areas to further refine strategic finance practices in global partnerships.},
