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.

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. read more
