Another one for the books as the future of finance unfolded yesterday at our CFO Forum co-hosted in collaboration with Cooper Parry 🚀 🙌 Setting the stage for an afternoon of transformative discussion was Cooper Parry’s Head of High-Growth & Tech Steve Leith and FFG’s Group Marketing Director Emily Miller ⭐ Catherine Birkett (GoCardless) and Sean Glithero shared invaluable insights on navigating high-profile exits, while Peter Glover (Montreal Park) and Matt Briers (Wise) discussed a CFO's journey through business growth and challenges, including the difference between preparing for an IPO transaction, and preparing to operate as a public company. 💡 Sonya Iovieno (HSBC Innovation Banking), Tatiana Okhotina (Token.io), Cerrith Moore (Moneybox), and Tim Holbrow (Nothing) then delved into strategies for scaling beyond Series B and the cultural shift that accompanies prioritising profit vs. growth. 🙌 The heart of the forum featured curated huddles where CFOs gathered in breakout discussions to tackle pressing issues focused on strategic cost optimisation, alternative funding avenues, the art of scaling finance teams in high-growth environments and crafting diversification strategies for long-term sustainability. ⚡ FFG’s very own CFO Joseph Annandsingh, Hugh Courtney and Stuart Jackson (Octopus Energy) then looked at fostering successful CFO-founder partnerships, and Fiona Blakemore (Balderton Capital), Simon Cunningham (Index Ventures), and Ben Dooley (Accel) on the role of CFOs in scale ups. 🎊 Plus, Charlie Walker announced the launch of our must-read CFO report, published in partnership with Harmonic Finance™ | Certified B Corp, which offers key insights on the future of tech and finance from our survey of 200 top European tech CFOs!
