Event | Future Proofing Finance

We love bringing finance leaders together to share ideas and discuss future trends.

And a big thank you to Karla Smith & Christopher Crellin FCPA for leading the conversation and sharing their amazing experience. Our networking events are held under Chatham House Rule so we can’t reveal who said what but here are a few of the talking points from our latest event…

✅ Finance professionals are becoming accomplished storytellers, using data interpretation and impactful communication to drive commercial decisions.

✅ Data security first – understand the security (or limitations) of the systems you use, your internal policies, and assess the potential risks or data being made public.

✅ What happens if low-level data entry disappears? Focus on future skills, including analysis, curiosity, great communication, and confident presentation.

✅ New roles are emerging, as finance teams embrace automation and AI, Data & Insights Managers and AI Champions will become common job titles.

✅ The benefits of automation continue to grow, including, freeing up time, enhancing forecasting, optimising spend in real time, and democratising data across the business.

✅ How can we upskill and support our existing teams? Empower your team to explore new tools (in company time), recognise different attitudes to change, and implement their successful solutions quickly.

About Handle Recruitment

We opened the doors in 1978 and built our reputation in the music industry. We quickly realised that a great brand is not always a household name. A great brand is something people connect with, not just a place they work. Somewhere that helps them become better at what they do. It could be a record label, it could be in media, it could be a tech start-up.
