Ensure you are able to scale alongside your growth ambitions
This session was the fourth in a ten-part series throughout 2022 hosted by Chris Tredwell. This series addresses the biggest challenges highlighted within GrowCFO’s 2021 Finance Systems survey.
This session was a panel discussion covering The CFO’s Role in Driving Growth.

She then moved onto American Express, Equiniti and then CPA Global before ending up as Commercial Finance Director at Study Group and has been involved in several growth and change journeys along the way.
During the session, our three experts shared some key insights, based on their experience, on how Finance Leaders can best support a business as it scales. They shared lessons they have learnt along the way, things to not do, things to ensure you do etc… leaving the live audience with plenty of things they can adopt to help them better succeed in their leadership roles. These themes all related back to the key pillars we often discuss in the Future of Finance – People / Process / Technology.
