CFO Brew live event offers a new strategic playbook

We here at CFO Brew think it’s time to stop saying that the CFO’s role is changing and start saying that the CFO role has changed. The evolution of the role isn’t complete, but it’s certainly irrevocable. CFOs are now powering the strategic engines of their organizations as they take on an expanding number of key responsibilities. We might be biased toward our audience, but it feels accurate to say that the CFO is at the heart of almost everything a company does now.

But just as the CFO role expands, so do the challenges they’re facing: Economic volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, increasingly complex global risk, talent shortages, and supply chain disruptions are among the many issues that are taking more of the CFO’s attention.

And, oh yeah, there’s an explosion of new technologies that promise to revolutionize how CFOs address those challenges, and it isn’t clear yet how those new tools will manifest themselves.

TL;DR: CFOs find themselves with new responsibilities, new challenges, and new tools. But it isn’t clear how all these factors are going to unfold over the next five to 10 years.

That’s where tomorrow’s live event, Next-Gen Finance: Future-Proofing Your Business Operations, comes in. We gathered some of the top finance thinkers, leaders, and innovative CFOs from across the country to share what they’ve learned about navigating finance’s future challenges. Jack McCullough, president of the CFO Leadership Council, will be diving into the CFO’s new strategic playbook; McKinsey’s Ankur Agrawal will share how top finance teams are dealing with the talent crisis; and CFO adviser Tanya Andreev-Kaspin will offer best practices for post-merger tech integration.

Other speakers will explore balancing efficiency and opportunity, as well as finding the right tech tools for your organization. As a bonus, all of your favorite CFO Brew reporters will be there, too.

It’s not too late to join us. If you’re in the New York City area, there are still tickets available for the in-person event, and livestream tickets are available for those who can’t make it to the Big Apple.
