From Back Office to Growth Office: The New Role of Finance
Join us for an exclusive breakfast roundtable designed specifically for CFOs and Finance Leaders who are navigating the competing demands of growth, scale, efficiency and agility.
As businesses race to deliver commercial value through product, sales and customer facing innovation, Finance teams are too often left behind before becoming a barrier to growth. When Finance, Operations, Technology and Product aren’t working in harmony, businesses struggle to scale and time to value slows, which is when competitors swoop in.
This session will explore how Finance teams can become an engine room for success. This happens when businesses work cross functionally, data is harmonised, and when Finance technology is treated with the same respect as any other technology.
We will examine how you can transform your organisation by rethinking:
· Operating models – structuring ownership and KPIs across verticals to eliminate front-office vs. back-office silos
· AI and cloud tooling – supercharging Finance professionals to become strategic partners
· Data foundations – building once and using many across the whole business
· Change governance – what works for new products and services can work for Finance
· Finance process engineering – building Finance processes you can be proud of
· Hiring and capability – hear from Absolute Recruit on developing teams designed for modern digital finance
This event will be run in partnership with Absolute Recruit and hosted by S&W Consulting Partners Sophie Long and Dan Goodall, alongside Director Pranav Nadkarni.
