Finance is being asked to play a different role than it was even a few years ago.

For years, it was expected to explain what had happened. Today, it's increasingly expected to help shape what happens next.

Most finance leaders understand that shift. The challenge is creating the time, confidence and capacity to make it happen while still keeping the day-to-day running.

The ambition is there; it's visualising the path forward.

That's the Finance Ambition Gap.

For years, finance was expected to explain what had happened. Today, it's increasingly expected to help shape what happens next.

That's a very different role. It requires time to think, confidence in the numbers, and the ability to look beyond reporting and towards decision-making.

The ambition is there. The challenge is creating the conditions that allow finance teams to operate at that level.

That's the Finance Ambition Gap.

Next week, Neil Harvie and James D'Souza will be at the Richmond Finance Directors' Forum.

What we're most interested in isn't just what's on the agenda. It's the conversations happening around it.

Every year there are common themes, but the detail is always different. Where is growth creating new pressure? Where are finance teams working harder than they should to maintain confidence in the numbers? And where are organisations finding ways to support faster decisions without simply adding more effort?

Those conversations provide a real snapshot of what's happening across finance functions today.

We'll be listening carefully and bringing those insights back into the work we do with our clients.

If you're attending, we'd love to say hello. The best conversations at these events are usually the ones that happen between the scheduled sessions.

The challenge is rarely knowing what needs to happen. It's finding the time, capacity and confidence to make it happen.

So how do you close the gap between where finance is today and where it needs to be?

Our latest blog explores the Finance Ambition Gap.

Join us today at 10am, for Modernising Finance | Moving Beyond Excel.

When a number changes, finance teams are often pulled away from strategic conversations and into explaining spreadsheet movements to stakeholders.

For many teams, that pressure has become normal.

Today’s session is a practical discussion on modernising FP&A and reducing the operational strain that spreadsheet driven planning quietly creates.

There’s still time to join us:

When close takes 10 - 15 days, there is no meaningful time available for analysis, planning or strategy. By the time the numbers arrive, the moment to act has already passed.

We'll be talking about that on 20th May, and we'd love for you to join us.
