We polled 105 finance leaders at high-growth companies to understand what they’re most interested in learning more about, where they get their information, and what they’re responsible for.
Building a modern finance team to support your rapidly morphing, fast-growing company is for trailblazers. Not followers. Not for the faint of heart. To help us build a community for finance trailblazers, we polled over 100 leaders in October.
We wanted to know what they most want to learn more about, and what resources or experts we might be able to connect them to.
We asked our respondents what they are responsible for (these may overlap):
Over 50% of leaders building modern finance teams are very interested in learning more about operating models that can drive success, how their peers are building their finance tech stacks, and how to organize and skill for success.
Fewer were very interested in solving communications problems between finance and IT. This surprised us, as we commonly see communication gaps blocking success. Perhaps it indicates a more fundamental concern that finance leaders don’t appreciate how wide the gap actually is (we’ve written more on this on our blog).
We also asked finance leaders to volunteer other areas of interest they have; many of their responses were variations on the broad themes above:
We fielded this survey because in our conversations with customers, we’ve heard over and over that finance and systems leaders in high-growth digital companies are blazing a new path and aren’t sure where to turn for important advice that’s relevant to their situations.
In the months to come, we’ll be acting on what we heard, from creating ways to meet peers in similar companies, publishing more content, and much more. If you’d like to learn more, please join our email list.
