Join fellow Deputy CFOs for this exclusive event.
This offsite brings together Deputy CFOs from high-growth, complex businesses for a focused, peer-led exploration of what it takes to lead at the heart of finance. Grounded in real-world challenges and the GrowCFO Competency Framework, we’ll dive into cross-functional leadership, enterprise risk, finance transformation, and the evolving demands of strategic finance. Expect candid conversation, practical takeaways, and the space to reflect, recharge, and return with sharper perspective and fresh energy for the road ahead.
The AI-Native Finance Playbook
Daniel Chang (OpenAI) will cover where AI is actually heading, from chatbots to agents to companies built around AI, and get practical on the questions finance owns: how to think about AI spend, what ROI really looks like, and how to build the team around it. He’ll address how to match the tool to the task and how to pave a clear path from data to decision as well as the risks OpenAI hears about most from customers right now.
 Scaling a Lean Finance Team
A working table for deputies being asked to do more without adding heads. Finance leaders trade tactics on what to automate first, where the payback is fastest, and how to keep controls intact while they do it. We'll also get into redesigning the function for scale and freeing up the team for real strategy rather than just keeping up. Expect candid takes on the talent bets you're making and how you're leading differently heading into 2027.
Board Storytelling: How to Translate the Numbers
Numbers rarely speak for themselves, and how you frame them shapes what the board hears. This discussion digs into translating finance data into the right narrative, whether you are prepping your CFO to walk into the room or stepping in to report yourself. Expect candid, "what I wish I'd known" perspective on board dynamics, communication cadence, and setting the CFO up for success even when you are not the one at the table. The goal is practical: leave with a sharper sense of how to turn performance, risk, and initiatives into a story that lands.
