GENCFO's Dynamic Start to 2024
Continuing to cement itself as the world's #1 finance community, GENCFO has witnessed significant developments in the first quarter of 2024.
Here are some highlights you may have missed…
GENCFO Summit 2024
GENCFO and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) have joined forces to host the highly successful fourth Virtual GENCFO Summit once again.
This is not your average thought-leadership summit; it is an action-packed fusion of insights, connections, and tangible takeaways.
The GENCFO Summit is designed to direct the disruption and lead the charge towards a new digital finance function.
They are pleased to welcome CFOs and finance leaders from Starbucks, Costa Coffee, GSK, Dr. Oetker, Hugo Boss, L’Oréal, Evri, and many more to speak on panels in May.
Renewed Strategic Partnerships
GENCFO solidified its position as an industry partner for technology providers, announcing partnerships with Sage and Planful for 2024.
Through the 'always-on' strategy, GENCFO’s partners gain widespread recognition within the community, breaking down barriers they may not have been able to overcome to become firm leaders in the market.
Digital Finance Function Awards 2024
The Digital Finance Function Awards, now in its fourth year in partnership with ACCA, continues to recognise excellence in digital finance transformation and finance leadership.
This year, new judges have been announced: Cedric Assalouf, Digital and Innovation Lead of Roche, Billie O’Connor, Founder of Nova Community and Stephen Sutcliffe Director of Finance and Accounting of NHS Shared Business Services.
GENCFO is honoured to host this prestigious event, spotlighting outstanding achievements and innovations within the finance industry.
Tech 100
In response to the evolving needs of finance leaders, GENCFO has overhauled its Tech 100 technology directory.
Shaped by invaluable community insights, this resource now stands as a comprehensive guide to cutting-edge technologies tailored specifically to the needs of finance professionals.
GENCFO has enhanced the user experience of the directory, enabling community members to easily discover the technologies being utilised by fellow members.
Advisory Board and Social Media Top Spot
GENCFO welcomed industry leaders Stephen Sutcliffe, Director of Finance and Accounting at NHS SBS, and Chris Ortega, Fractional CFO at Fresh FP&A, to its Advisory Board.
Their expertise enriches the GENCFO network, supporting the creation of our Summit agendas and the impact our community is making.
GENCFO continues to maintain its top-ranking position on LinkedIn, engaging with the accounting and finance community worldwide.
"We are thrilled to celebrate these milestones and extend our gratitude to our partners and the finance community for their continued support. GENCFO remains dedicated to driving innovation and empowering finance professionals - roll on the rest of 2024.”

“Chris Argent isn’t here to play by finance’s old rulebook - he’s here to rewrite it.” From challenging outdated corporate thinking to rallying finance leaders around a more connected, adaptable future, the founder of GENCFO is leading a quiet revolution in how CFOs and finance leadership work, think, and influence. Chris Argent, founder of GENCFO, is a finance leader redefining the role beyond business partnering. A self-described “reluctant accountant,” he’s built a global community for progressive accounting and finance leaders who value connection over competition and action over tradition. Chris believes the greatest risk to the profession is clinging to outdated norms, and that mindset and adaptability outpace any technological change. His work champions leaders who turn new ideas into real-world change, blending people-centred strategies with new ways of working and technology. In conversations, he challenges, provokes, and inspires - proving that the future of finance belongs to those ready to lead it together.
