Future of Finance and CFO Summit

Future of Finance and CFO Summit - 10-12 February 2020, Syon Hilton, Richmond, London. The days of finance merely acting as a cost-saving function are well behind us. There is currently an opportunity for CFOs and their teams to step, once and for all, out of the “Back-Office” and into strategic leadership positions within their businesses, providing high-level, accurate, and valued insight in real time. Now, more than ever before, finance teams have the opportunity to be proactive, not reactive, to the changing needs of their businesses, to harness automotive technologies, cloud computing, robotics, and data analytics in order to drive business-wide successes at the bottom and top line.The Future Finance function will be a hybrid of accountants, data scientists, and a virtual workforce, and the CFO and his or her evolving team will need to retrain and retain their workforce in order to ensure they make the most of these opportunities. Skills such as communication and business partnering will still remain key in the finance function of the future. As we head towards 2020, the Future of Finance & CFO Summit will address the role revolution for finance. Hear inspirational and transformative case studies, as you build and prepare for your finance function of the future…This event is centered towards achieving a central aim – providing the CFO and his or her team with the necessary toolkit to positively improve both functional and business-wide performance. Adding additional value to the business requires finance leaders to look internally at their own processes and functional activities, and to better utilise their people, processes and technology in order to provide advanced insight regarding forecasting future growth and identifying risk areas. In the age of outsourcing and automation, finance leaders face the challenge of redefining the parameters of “what finance is”, what the core skills are, and what the future finance function will look like.
