Why Building The Right Team Around You Matters As A CFO

Being a successful CFO is about far more than technical finance ability.

Modern finance leaders are expected to influence strategy, lead people, support growth and operate as trusted advisors to the wider business.

For many female CFOs, those pressures can come with additional challenges around visibility, confidence and navigating leadership environments that are still often male-dominated.

That is why the theme of our upcoming HerFinance Circle: Leading from the Front event is “Overcoming the challenges of being a female CFO and how to build a high-performing team around you.”

Taking place on Tuesday 16th June from 5.30pm – 8.30pm at Banyan in Leeds, the event will feature a live panel discussion with senior female finance leaders who will share honest experiences and practical insights from their own careers.

The conversation will explore topics including:

  • Creating high-performing finance functions
  • Building trust and influence within leadership teams
  • Managing pressure in senior roles
  • Developing strong teams around you
  • Supporting and mentoring future leaders

The panel will bring together three highly experienced CFOs from professional services, membership organisations and high-growth businesses:

Alongside the panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to network with senior female finance professionals from across Yorkshire in a relaxed environment.

Tickets are priced at just £15 + VAT and include a welcome prosecco or soft drink alongside a delicious evening buffet. Places are limited, so click here to book your place online.
