Panel - Building the modern finance operating model, freeing capacity while strengthening control

With more than 70 percent of CFOs saying operational workload limits their ability to focus on strategic priorities (Deloitte), finance operating models are being judged on capacity creation as much as control. This panel examines how CFOs redesign ownership, cadence, and automation so finance delivers faster decision support without weakening accuracy, governance, or audit readiness. Expect a candid look at what leading teams centralise versus embed, how decision guardrails reduce escalation to the CFO, and which operating model shifts create real breathing room at scale. Key takeaways: - Identify the operating model decisions that remove bottlenecks while protecting control, compliance, and auditability. - Compare practical guardrails that reduce CFO dependency and clarify decision ownership across the business. - Distinguish where automation reliably saves time, and where human judgment must stay in the loop to avoid risk and rework. - Take away a clear set of levers to create capacity for planning, partnering, and growth leadership without adding fragility.
