Our Next Event
The Evolving CFO: Operator, Strategist, or Change Agent?
February 2026 | Invitation-Only CFO Roundtable
The role of the CFO is changing quickly and quietly.
Today’s finance leaders are expected to be far more than stewards of the numbers. CFOs are increasingly called on to guide strategy, lead transformation, manage risk, and shape culture, often all at once. But what that actually looks like inside mid-sized organizations varies widely.
This Midwest Finance Forum roundtable brings CFOs together for a candid, off-the-record conversation about how the role is evolving in practice, not in theory, and how finance leaders are navigating shifting expectations from CEOs, boards, and their teams.
This is not a panel or presentation. It’s a peer conversation designed to surface shared challenges, emerging patterns, and honest reflection on what it means to lead finance today.
