Finance Belongs to Everyone: CFO meets COO
Most ops leaders didn't choose to be at odds with their finance team. But silos between finance and operations can quietly hold a business back, and they're more common than anyone likes to admit.
The CFO and COO roles have more in common than most teams realise. When they work in sync, the whole business moves faster.
Join us for an online expert discussion with two finance and ops specialists from RORA, bringing their combined experience to one of the most common disconnects in scaling businesses. This session is about bringing the two functions closer so ops leaders can drive better outcomes across the whole company. We'll unpack the three things that make the biggest difference: team structure, tech stack, and processes, and what it looks like when you get them right.
By the end of this session, you'll...
🔗 Break down how the CFO and COO roles connect
⚙️ Look at the finance operations processes that keep the two functions running in sync
📊 Get clear on the KPIs and reporting that both finance and ops should be watching
🤝 Work through how to resolve the disconnects between finance and the rest of the business
What you'll leave with
A clearer view of how finance and operations really connect, and practical ideas for improvements you can take straight back to your own team.
You should join us if you are...
✅ On a leadership team, or responsible for managing ops or finance
✅ Looking to move into a role managing ops or finance
✅ Working with a high-level understanding of what finance covers. No deep finance background needed
You're unlikely to benefit if...
🚫 You're not involved in operational or financial decision-making, and don't expect to be
🚫 You're looking for deep, technical finance training rather than a high-level view of how finance and ops connect
🚫 Finance and operations already run in close sync at your business, with no silos to close
