The New CFO: Reinventing the Finance Department

What does the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) want? To make better and more informed decisions at speed. To understand how technology can drive the business forward. To work with other departments to improve efficiency and foster innovation.

The CFO wants all of those things but knows that while technology is central to delivery, there are no silver bullets. It requires a strategic and tactical understanding of what’s possible – an understanding of the potential of cloud-based applications and the merits of the opex model of technology usage over the capex alternative. It requires, too, an appreciation of ‘two speed’ IT that allows business leaders to run the organisation while simultaneously changing it.

This event is devoted to the CFO and fellow senior finance department stakeholders. It will explore their needs and their challenges. And it will explore the role of technology as a tool for driving the business forward. All in plain English.

During the evening, you will hear from a leading finance-focused analyst and be given the chance to meet the team from Sage Enterprise Management. It will also be an unrivaled opportunity to share thoughts, ideas, and experiences with fellow CFOs in a relaxed and informal setting.
