When did you last step back and truly evaluate your finance function? Most CFOs are deeply embedded in day-to-day operations, yet regularly reviewing how your finance function operates is essential for sustainable growth. This was the topic of our webinar aimed at helping CFOs rethink the structure of their operations.

The reality check where are you now
Most CFOs review aspects of their finance function annually, yet many still struggle with untrusted numbers, resource constraints, and lengthy reporting cycles. Your finance function needs evolve dramatically as your business grows – what works at startup won’t serve you during rapid expansion or exit phases.
The outsourcing opportunity you might be missing
Many CFOs default to traditional hiring, but outsourcing offers specialist expertise without overhead, scalable resources, and crucially – time to focus on strategy and growth. When you hire someone, they know what they know. When you outsource strategically, you tap into broader knowledge and established processes refined across multiple businesses.
Functions like payroll, purchase and sales ledger processing often lend themselves well to outsourcing. For many growing businesses, your first finance hire doesn’t need to be an employee at all – outsourcing can deliver better results, particularly in early growth stages.
Beyond compliance partnerships
Your accountant relationship shouldn’t be limited to year-end activities. The most successful CFOs maintain ongoing partnerships, leveraging expertise for strategic planning, regulatory guidance, and proactive business support. This means conversations about accounting treatments before decisions are made, KPI development support, and access to technical expertise when needed.
Whether you’re looking to streamline your accounts function or explore outsourcing options, this webinar provides practical insights and detailed case studies. See how we transformed a global recruitment firm’s finance function from manual processes into streamlined, scalable operations.
