Why CFOs Are Betting on Exceptional Financial Modeling Skills

webinar Aug 21, 2026
 

For CFOs, it is no longer enough to have financial information available. The ability to build a financial model, understand the assumptions behind it and use it to evaluate different business decisions has become an important part of strategic finance.

A strong financial model can help a finance team understand how changes in assumptions could affect profitability, cash flow, capital requirements and risk. It can also give leadership a clearer basis for decisions around investment, expansion, funding and resource allocation.

This is why financial modeling continues to matter at the executive level.

On Friday, August 28th at 3PM WAT, we will bring together Dr Deborah David, Group CFO of Power Gas Ebedei Ltd., and Mr Ibikunle Oriola, Group CFO of Food Concepts, for a conversation on Why CFOs Are Betting on Exceptional Financial Modeling Skills.

Moderated by David Brown, Managing Partner, dbrownconsulting, the discussion will explore how financial modeling has developed into an executive tool for strategic planning, capital allocation, scenario evaluation, risk management and board-level decision-making.

The conversation will also examine how CFOs can combine technical financial capability with the communication, judgement and governance required to influence decisions at the highest level.
