CFO 4.0 | April Monthly Briefing

With the arrival of spring, we hope you're enjoying the brighter weather and looking forward to the opportunities the new season brings. This edition of our newsletter is brimming with insightful articles, engaging podcast episodes, and informative reports to help you in your financial journey and provide valuable tips for streamlining your financial processes! ??

 If you missed our latest Financial Transformation Live session, you can now watch it on demand! In this session, I covered the Top Tips Before Starting Your Finance Systems Implementation Project. You can also sign up for our next Financial Transformation Live session, 12 Months to a Faster Close. Which will be taking place on the 20th June at 12pm.

 I've included a couple of articles in this newsletter. First up, The 11 Biggest Benefits of Process Mapping. Process mapping is one of the most powerful tools that a business can use in its transformation journey and it's often the first thing we look to do when we work with clients. So in this article, we cover what process mapping is, why we should process map, and how it can improve productivity within your finance team.

 The second article, 3 Critical Components to Building a Data-Driven Finance Organisation, covers 3 main points on what CFOs need to focus on so that they can build a more data-driven finance organisation. These components include; cultivating a data culture, fostering the right talent, and embracing future-ready technology.

 If you haven't already checked out our First 90 Days as a CFO: Blueprint for Success Masterplan, what are you waiting for? This whitepaper takes you through a 90-day plan on what you can expect from your first 90 days as a CFO, so you can understand what is expected of you, and how you can build trust, understanding, and a great network of strong relationships with your finance team.

I've also included a recent podcast episode which I think you may find useful. I sat down with Edward Knighton, experienced CFO, to talk about navigating the world of private equity. You can listen to it on your favourite streaming platform by searching 'CFO 4.0'!

 I hope you have a great time over the upcoming bank holiday weekends, whatever your plans are! If you have any questions or queries, please reach out to me at [email protected].
