Finance Lessons for Future Leaders - Think Like a CFO

Sponsored by

Finance isn’t just about numbers, it’s about influence, trust, and leadership. For emerging leaders, understanding finance is a career accelerator. It helps you build credibility, make smarter decisions, and connect strategy with results.

In this engaging and practical session, you’ll uncover the essential truths about accounting and finance that every leader should know. You’ll also learn why the most successful leaders have a finance sponsor, why CFOs so often become CEOs, and why understanding finance gives you insight into how your next boss thinks.

This webinar is a preview of the in-depth workshop at the ISA Fall Conference, designed to help non-finance leaders turn financial insights into leadership impact.

By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with:

  • Why finance is a trust-building profession – and why stakeholder confidence is everything.
  • How finance roles and departments connect – and why understanding them improves collaboration.
  • The art and science of budgets and forecasts – how to see beyond the numbers to the story they tell.
  • What finance teaches us about technology change – why system updates hit finance hardest, and what leaders can learn.
  • Why poor controls hold organizations back – and how discipline in operations creates space for modern finance teams.
  • The leadership connection – why having a finance sponsor accelerates careers, why CFOs so often become CEOs, and how financial fluency helps you understand the mindset of your future boss.
