FUTURE-FOCUSED FINANCE
IN COLLABORATION WITH AVANADE, ACCENTURE AND MICROSOFT
Wednesday 24th May – 14:00-15:00 BST
Virtual Roundtable
Panel discussion with Paul Prendergast, Paul Benjamin & Alan Grogan
“CFOs must balance the demands of the present with a strategic vision for the future. They need to be both stewards of the past and architects of the future.”
– McKinsey
The role of finance is changing. 89% of C-suite executives believe it’s the CFO who should take on the role of strategic leader [BCG, 2023]. Finance executives are being summoned to the start line and are now competing to evolve finance from an operational function to the strategic backbone of their organisation.
However, CFOs are wading through treacle, burdened by manual tasks, outdated systems, and fragmented data, significantly limiting their ability to deliver on strategy. These organisations are losing out, big time, with revenue growth 2.5 times lower than those with highly digitised finance functions [Accenture, 2022].
If you want to position yourself as the CFO of tomorrow, you need to free yourself up to focus on the bigger picture. After all, the value is in the future, not the past. So, how can you use AI, automation and analytics to support you as you guide your organisation to success?
Lets discuss the CFO role of the future…

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PLEDGE
We’re committed to supporting our society and environment. When you attend a Change Makers Club event, we pledge to neutralise your carbon footprint. To offset your travel or energy usage we will plant a tree via One Tree Planted. Once mature, the average tree has a net absorption of 30 kg of CO2 per year, which equates to 227 miles of travel by car or 96 hours of office usage. You can see our maths here.
