Request your invite

to the summit

How can you deliver insightful commentary and fuel growth when your finance function is still buried in manual processes?

Request your invite to join 75 CFOs and see what's actually working:

→ Assess automation plays from CFOs (at $50M+ companies) who've freed up days of team capacity without adding headcount

→ Stop being the bottleneck with frameworks CFOs use to transform finance into the function that unblocks decisions and enables growth

→ Get the board slides that work – proven communication frameworks that drive real engagement, not polite nods

→ Vet vendors with peer intel – leave with a shortlist of tools CFOs have successfully deployed, saving you months of demos

→ Build your local CFO network – candid, off-the-record conversations with peers facing your exact challenges (200+ employee orgs only)
