Finance Leaders East Coast Roadshow | Boston

It’s 4:00 p.m. on the Friday before the board meeting.

Your numbers don’t quite reconcile. There are three versions of the forecast circulating. The CEO asks a simple “what if?” question - and answering it means pulling data from six spreadsheets and two systems that don’t talk to each other.

For many growing finance teams, this isn’t the exception.

It’s Tuesday.

As organizations scale from roughly 200 to 1,000 employees, finance is expected to deliver faster reporting, more accurate forecasting and meaningful strategic insight - often using processes built for a much smaller business.

The Finance Leaders East Coast Roadshow brings together CFOs and senior finance leaders across three cities to discuss what’s actually working. Nearly 700 finance leaders have already registered for our finance events. This October, we’re bringing the series to Washington, D.C., New York, and Boston.

A focused, practical session over breakfast about how high-performing finance teams are improving planning and reporting - and how you can do the same without committing to a lengthy transformation project.

Why Attend

• See how finance teams are reducing reporting cycles from weeks to days, without replacing every system they already use.
• Explore the five biggest planning and reporting challenges holding growing finance teams back. From juggling multiple versions and manual board packs to data entry errors, difficulty finding the detail behind the numbers and disconnected systems.
• Hear from finance leaders who have been where you are. Real customer stories will show how organizations modernized planning and reporting without adding headcount.
• See QuickStart Financials in action. The fastest way we know to get best-practice planning and reporting up and running on Vena in a matter of weeks - with no lengthy transformation project.
• Connect with peers facing similar growth challenges. Attendees will include CFOs, VPs of Finance, Finance Directors, Heads of Finance, and Heads of FP&A at scaling organizations, so the conversation stays relevant.
• Leave with practical ideas you can put to work immediately - not just inspiration.

Who Should Attend

This breakfast is designed for senior finance leaders at growing organizations, including:

• CFOs
• VPs of Finance
• Finance Directors
• Heads of Finance
• Heads of FP&A

To keep the group small enough for a meaningful conversation, each breakfast is limited to a select number of senior finance leaders. Registrations are reviewed to ensure the peer group is a strong fit.
