Six discussions will run in parallel, each focused on a challenge CFOs are actively navigating right now. Choose the table most relevant to you and join a candid, peer-led conversation with CFOs facing the same pressure and trade-offs. Each table is moderated by a senior finance leader to keep the discussion grounded, practical, and relevant, with no presentations and no passive listening. Come prepared to challenge assumptions, compare approaches, and share what is actually working in your organisation. 1. The shadow org chart – Navigating unofficial decision-making power across founders, boards, and operating partners. 2. Post-PE value creation pitfalls – Overcoming common execution and alignment challenges in the first 100 days of investment. 3. Scaling without breaking finance – Maintaining controls, compliance, and accuracy during rapid growth or integration initiatives. 4. Sequencing for scale: How financial decision filters drive durable growth Connect with peers carrying the same accountability, benchmark decisions candidly, and leave with perspectives you can apply immediately in your own organisation.

Speed without structural clarity is noise, and many FP&A teams are accelerating output without accelerating decisions. This session examines how high-performing finance functions are redesigning planning architecture, model structure, and review cadences to increase decision velocity across the enterprise. Rather than adding dashboards or tightening deadlines, the focus is on eliminating the hidden friction that slows capital allocation, blurs accountability, and weakens executive confidence. Key takeaways: - Identify where planning cycles create decision drag, even when data is timely - Simplify financial models to surface trade-offs clearly and reduce executive stalemate - Redesign planning and performance rhythms to drive accountability and forward momentum - Build operating discipline that scales with growth instead of compounding complexity
