Mighty Partners x BlueRock x Weel: Scaling Finance Functions in FY27.

​Last year, we hosted a highly engaged conversation on the importance of maturing finance functions as businesses move from startup to scale up. We unpacked practical challenges around hiring finance talent, improving forecasting discipline, managing global payment complexity, navigating a growing range of funding options and knowing when systems and processes need to evolve.

​12 months later, the CFO role has shifted dramatically. AI is reshaping workflows, lean teams are being asked to do more with less, and capital markets have become far more complex for technology businesses. Funding is increasingly concentrated in a small number of leading AI companies, broader SaaS sentiment remains challenged, and finance leaders are under growing pressure to drive efficiency while playing a more strategic role across growth, capital and operational decisions.

​Join BlueRock, Mighty Partners and Weel for an intimate panel discussion on how finance teams are evolving, including:

• ​AI and automation across billing, payroll, reporting and spend management

• ​what finance teams should build in house vs outsource

• ​when to invest in systems, processes and headcount

• ​navigating tougher capital markets and a growing range of funding options

• ​the expanding role of CFOs across boards, fundraising and growth decisions

• ​scaling finance infrastructure without unnecessary complexity
