In the last two decades, the role of the CFO in organisations, big or small, has changed dramatically. From being focused on the financial requirements of a company – accounting, taxation, treasury and audit – the finance function is now the pivot around which a company’s entire business strategy is planned and implemented.
CFO Collective is a platform that nurtures the CFO community, across sectors, through a comprehensive engagement model. Our aim is to harness the value of ‘collective wisdom’ i.e. create opportunities for senior finance professionals to benefit from best practices, next practices, cutting edge insights, problem-solving, building lasting bonds through the power of networks, and developing their own leadership style and potential. Equally, the community is invaluable to senior professionals committed to ‘paying it forward’.
The CFO Collective owns and manages the CFO India brand and all associated properties – print periodicals, digital platforms, and convenings. The CFO India Network, our membership based peer community, is the backbone of all we do. To serve our community’s needs, we offer content through each of these mediums – print, digital and personal interactions. Our branded flagship events include – The Annual CFO Leadership Conclave, The Annual CFO100 Programme and The CFO NEXT100 Programme.
CFO Collective’s vibrant, high-quality platforms provide excellent opportunities for our community members, and partners to engage with each other in innovative and meaningful formats. Our partners value our ability to curate content in a manner that befits the seniority and quality of our audience.
CFO Collective was formed in April 2019 by acquiring the CFO vertical and the CFO India brand from one of India’s most established B2B media companies. It is funded by a group of senior finance leaders who believe deeply in its potential. CFO Collective is headquartered in New Delhi and has offices in Noida, Mumbai and Bangalore.
