From Project Chaos to Financial Control: How CFOs De-Risk Growth, M&A and Transformation
Join Gaye Prime (VFD Pro) and guest expert Matt Gascoigne (Flowlio) on Thursday 26th February, 10am (UK).
What you’ll take away:
- Where delivery risk quietly erodes value during growth, acquisition and integration.
- What “delivery control” really means from a CFO and board assurance perspective
- Practical ways finance leaders can strengthen governance and visibility without adding bureaucracy.
Matt Gascoigne | Flowlio
Why this matters
Matt Gascoigne is a senior transformation and delivery specialist who works with CFOs, FDs and executive teams to strengthen execution, governance, and assurance where strategy turns into outcomes. With an executive career across professional services and consulting, he has been closely involved in the design and delivery of complex programmes, utilising the Flowlio toolkit, focused on improving how organisations govern, assure and deliver change at scale.
An MBA graduate with distinction, Matt brings a commercial, CFO-aligned perspective to delivery – focusing less on project mechanics and more on control, risk, value protection and board-level credibility.
Consider the following question
How confident are you that your growth or M&A initiatives are delivering the value your financial models assumed, today?
Who is this for?
This session is designed specifically for in-house finance leaders. It focuses on financial control, assurance and value protection – not project management theory or tools.
CFOs and Finance Directors
Financial Controllers and Heads of Finance involved in transformation or M&A
Finance leaders accountable for delivery assurance, integration outcomes and value realisation
(Mastermind Member bonus: those in the VFD Mastermind will be invited to stay on after the session for a deeper roundtable to apply key ideas to their own practices.)
Session Outcomes
By the end of the session, attendees will:
- Understand where delivery risk typically sits in growth and M&A, and why finance often sees it too late.
- Be able to distinguish between activity reporting and true delivery assurance.
- Leave with a clear way of thinking about how CFOs can strengthen delivery control and assurance without slowing the organisation down.
- Gain practical insight into how finance leaders can influence execution outcomes, not just measure them.
