Key insights from the Q2 2026 CFO survey
July 16 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Event description
This webcast will explore key findings from Grant Thornton’s Q2 2026 CFO Survey, highlighting how finance leaders are navigating rising economic uncertainty while continuing to invest in growth. As inflation pressures intensify, geopolitical disruption increases, and confidence in execution declines, CFOs are balancing competing priorities — sustaining technology investment while strengthening governance, cost discipline, and operational resilience.
Drawing on insights from more than 200 senior finance executives, the discussion will examine how organizations are pursuing value creation through AI and digital transformation, even as execution risks rise. Participants will gain perspective on how CFOs are reshaping cost structures, refining pricing strategies, and leveraging outsourcing and flexible workforce models to remain agile in volatile conditions.
The webcast will also explore emerging trends in M&A strategy and execution, where organizations are prioritizing targeted, value-driven deals and focusing on technology-enabled performance improvement. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how leading finance organizations are aligning investment, cost optimization, and risk management to drive sustainable growth in a high-pressure environment.
