Finance Leaders’ Summit

Transforming the finance function in growing businesses

10^th December 2020, Virtual Event

Due to the recent announcements made by the government, we have made an informed decision to restructure this year's Finance Leaders’ Summit into an online event, which will now be held virtually on Thursday 10th December 2020.

Our research with FDs and CFOs indicated that they remain very keen and excited to be involved in the event but may not be in a position to travel or attend physically due to the current circumstances.

Given the above, we are hopeful that you will still be able to join us, online, on 10th December 2020.

The Finance Leaders’ Summit is back for its 6th year. This year the virtual event will focus on operational, technological and strategic aspects of the finance function in growing businesses.

This Summit is a must-attend event for all Chief Financial Officers and Finance Directors who would like to understand the changing role of the finance function within growing businesses in the UK, including the pressing questions regarding new and increased technology use, cybersecurity and financial risk, employee engagement and team collaboration to name a few.

There is also a focus on developing your possible aspirations and journey from the role of CFO to CEO as well as a focus on developing personal skills including team leadership and talent acquisition.

Everything you need to become the CFO of 2021 and beyond.
