Today’s CFO is being stretched further than ever. As the role expands in scope, influence and expectation, the finance agenda is influenced by unavoidable tensions - speed vs accuracy, innovation vs compliance, transformation vs capacity, today’s skills vs tomorrow’s needs, and more.
At our first CFO Forum of 2026, we brought together a panel of three senior finance leaders from across industries to discuss the pressures shaping the year ahead.
Grounded in findings from our latest survey of 500+ UK CFOs, the conversation cut through the noise and focused on what CFOs are really grappling with right now, and how they’re responding.
Catch up for insight on:
- The realities of leading major transformation and balancing change with burnout
- Navigating innovation vs. regulatory and operational risk
- Handling competing priorities across functions and stakeholders
- Balancing today’s finance skills with tomorrow’s capabilities
- Evolving forecasting and scenario planning
- Challenging the business constructively without being viewed as the 'no function'
