CFO Advisory Session

Structured, confidential advisory sessions for CFOs and senior finance leaders navigating digital assets, treasury complexity, and finance transformation decisions.

These sessions provide a disciplined space to step back from day-to-day pressure, assess implications clearly, and strengthen decision readiness across finance, governance, operating models, controls, and risk.

CFO Advisory Sessions are not presentations. They are working conversations, designed to help finance leaders think rigorously, challenge assumptions, and prepare for informed executive and board-level decision-making.

Purpose of the Advisory Sessions

The purpose of these sessions is to support CFOs in:

• Clarifying the strategic relevance of digital assets and emerging financial technologies

• Understanding implications for the finance function before commitments are made

• Framing decisions in a way that aligns strategy, governance, and risk appetite

• Separating signal from noise in a fast-evolving financial landscape

The focus is on clarity and responsibility, not advocacy or speed.

Typical Advisory Focus Areas

Depending on the organisation’s context and maturity, sessions may address:

• Strategic relevance of digital assets and DeFi for the finance function

• Treasury, balance sheet, liquidity, and capital structure considerations

• Governance, control, and oversight implications

• Risk landscape: financial, operational, regulatory, and reputational

• Operating model and ownership questions across finance, legal, risk, and operations

• What requires executive attention now — and what can responsibly wait

Each session is tailored to the organisation’s industry, complexity, and decision horizon.

Format & Engagement Style

CFO Advisory Sessions are delivered as:

• One-to-one or small-group working sessions

• Highly confidential and context-driven discussions

• Structured, but flexible in format and depth

• Focused on real decisions rather than theoretical models

Sessions may be standalone or form part of a broader engagement, including preparation for strategy definition, roadmap design, or subsequent board presentations.

What These Sessions Are — and Are Not

CFO Advisory Sessions are:

• Independent and objective

• Grounded in finance, governance, and real-world constraints

• Designed to support responsible decision-making

They are not:

• Product pitches or vendor-driven consulting

• Asset allocation advice or implementation services

• Advocacy for adoption or specific technologies

The emphasis is on thinking clearly before acting.

Who This Is For

• CFOs and senior finance leaders

• Finance executives operating in complex or regulated environments

• Organisations navigating early-stage exploration or pre-decision phases

• Family offices and finance leaders preparing for structural change
