Gone are the days when spreadsheets ruled the financial roost and a CFO’s domain was confined to balance sheets and budgets. The modern corporate finance landscape has undergone a shift in influence, where finance teams can not only be the bookkeeper to keep their company afloat, but drive strategy for the years to come. The key to success? Mastering the balance of technology and talent. Join CFO Brew to understand how your finance operation should be prioritizing innovation, adaptability, and the perfect fusion of human insights and technology. Here’s what you can expect to cover:

• The Evolving Role of the CFO and Why That’s Important: The most successful CFOs are now serving as an integral collaborator and decision-maker alongside their C-Suite peers. Once solely anchored in budget management, CFOs are putting what they know about the company checkbook to use, and stepping into conversations around strategic planning, technological integration, and digital transformation. Why is this important and how is it trickling down to the financial business unit at large? How can the field evolve overall to be more strategic players in business?
• Talent Management: The decisions that start at the leadership level ultimately trickle down to every operation within the business unit. That said, a forward-focused CFO who is prioritizing technology, innovation, and impact, requires a team of the same mindset. During this event, CFO Brew unpacks the gaps in talent that leadership are addressing, where upskilling and reskilling their workforce is possible, and how strong CFO leadership can drive forward innovation in technology and operations overall.
• Technology as Your Co-Pilot: AI, automation, and other emerging technologies are creating endless possibilities for how finance teams can embrace innovation and efficiencies to close age-old gaps in operations. During this event, CFO Brew not only discusses the technology available, but how financial leaders can scale adoption beyond just pilot-to-pilot models. We’ll answer questions around what technologies are best to adopt for what categories of the work (is automation best for expense management, is AI best for budget predictions, or a mix of the two?) and how leadership can partner with technology to better drive their financial strategy.
