FP&A Today goes on the road!. Our host city is Boston and the historic Harvard Club with an audience of Boston CFOs and FP&A leaders. Our first live recording sees an all-star panel of Jack McCullough, CFO Leadership Council, Michael Bayer, CFO of Wasabi Technologies, Cathy Yang, CFO Trexon.
By way of background, Jerome Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, talked of “remarkably high” levels of economic uncertainty. “I don’t know anyone who has a lot of confidence in their forecast,” he said. FactSet, a financial-data firm, found that over half of the companies in America’s S&P 500 index cited tariffs in their earnings calls—more than in any other time over the past decade.
In this episode we probe how finance executives can navigate today’s complex geopolitical and technological landscape including:
- The ROI of a CFO AI Strategy
- How to navigate as a financial leader with tariffs and trade tensions
- Trexon’s Experience navigating tariffs affecting 12 business units and 16 sites
- Tech and AI’s role in enhancing supply chain visibility
- Pricing increases for customers due to tariffs and navigating that from the CFO’s Office
- Back to work or not for finance teams?
