Why would my business need a 2nd CFO?!

In this session, we’ll look at how the CFO role is evolving—moving beyond traditional financial control into shaping strategy, leading transformation, and managing organisational risk. We’ll explore the three pressures that most often prompt CFOs to seek peer support: increasing complexity, limited capacity, and the growing consequences of each decision.

We’ll also talk through the early signs that the role may have expanded beyond what one person can realistically take on, along with practical ways to assess whether additional support could improve outcomes, reduce risk, and help prevent burnout.

Throughout the session, you’ll hear directly from experienced CFOs who’ll share their own perspectives on these challenges and how they’ve helped organisations navigate them.
