About this Event

Thinking about portfolio CFO/FD work — or already doing it and want to do it better? This practical, no-fluff session cuts through the myths of consultancy life and gets into what actually works.

You’ll learn how portfolio CFOs really start, price themselves, find clients, and win work — plus the types of businesses that value (and pay for) senior finance support. We’ll cover day-to-day reality, common mistakes, CIMA compliance considerations, and how to protect yourself professionally.

Expect honest insight, shared war stories, and useful takeaways — with plenty of time to network over drinks and nibbles.

Open to CIMA Members, CIMA Students, and external guests | Limited to 50 places
