Fractional Finance Breakfast in Fitzrovia | Software Spend & Tool Stack
Software Spend, Sorted: Visibility & Accountability for Growing Teams
"What did we actually spend on software this month, and who should I be holding accountable for it?" If you're the one who ends up reporting that number and having to explain it, you're not the only one asking.
Join us for a free breakfast at The Riding House Café in Fitzrovia, in partnership with Dragonfly, a platform giving finance teams real-time visibility into software spend, usage and pricing. We're bringing together a small group of CFOs and finance leaders who are living this exact sprawl problem across their portfolios right now.
We'll keep it small and focused, with enki community members getting priority access.
Who's this for?
This is for anyone who owns or answers for software spend somewhere: holding the budget, signing off new tools, negotiating renewals, or being the one who reports the number and has to explain it.
It's most useful if the business behind you is running 40+ tools, roughly 50 to 250 people, in SaaS, fintech, healthtech, digital services or e-commerce. And if you can't actually say how many tools you're running, but you've been handed a visibility or cost-cutting mandate anyway, that's exactly the seat this breakfast was built for.
Work across several businesses? That's exactly who this is for. You just need one client where this is genuinely a live problem, not all of them.
Agenda
08:00 – Welcome & Intros
Quick introductions: who you are, the businesses you're currently working with, and where tool spend is causing the most friction right now.
08:30 – Problem-Solving
Small-group discussion on:
→ Where software spend is quietly getting away from you
→ How you're currently tracking usage across tools, and where that breaks down
→ Who ends up owning the decision to cut or keep a tool
09:00 – Group Discussion: What's Actually Working in 2026
Whole-table discussion on the challenges that matter most to the room, including:
→ The gap between what finance thinks is being used and what actually is
→ Renewals that sail through because nobody flagged them in time
→ Where IT and finance disagree on what's essential
→ What "good visibility" would even look like, if you had it
09:30 – Open Discussion & Wrap-up
