SUMMARY:Giving Finance the Oversight It Deserves
DESCRIPTION:Controllers can only be as confident as their data. When inputs come from different systems updated at different times\, that confidence is hard to justify. Manual consolidation introduces errors. Close cycles drag. Cash visibility lags. \n\n\n\n The result? Controllers spend more time assembling data than acting on it — and the oversight they’re meant to provide gets lost in the noise. Decisions are made on stale data\, putting at risk the company’s liquidity.  \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we’ll explore how CFOs and Controllers of SMEs and mid-market companies are rethinking the way their teams operate — moving from fragmented\, reactive workflows to a unified\, real-time view of cash across AP\, AR\, and treasury.  \n\n\n\n**CPE Eligible** Field of Study: Finance Level: Basic Prerequisite: None Advance Preparation: None required Delivery Method: Group Internet-Based Recommended CPE Credit(s): 1 \n\n\n\nEvent Inquiries: For inquiries as well as complaints concerning this webinar\, you are welcome to send an e-mail message to neil@controllerscouncil.org \n\n\n\nPlease note that only those who attend the live webinar will have the opportunity to earn continuing professional education (CPE) credit in connection with this webinar.

SUMMARY:From private equity to public markets: Is your PE-backed company ready?
DESCRIPTION:Event overview\n\n\n\nThe initial public offering window is open—but is your private equity-backed company ready to seize the opportunity? After a two-year drought\, 2026 is shaping up as a historic window for PE exits via IPO. Portfolio companies that were built for sale to strategic buyers or other PE firms are now pivoting to public markets. But here’s the challenge: The strategies that made them attractive to PE create significant obstacles on the path to going public. \n\n\n\nMany PE-backed companies have been assembled through aggressive roll-up strategies—acquiring multiple add-ons to build scale\, consolidate markets and drive valuation multiples. While this creates value in private markets\, it introduces profound complexity when preparing for an IPO. \n\n\n\nThis live session will address the unique challenges and considerations faced by PE-backed companies who are preparing—or being asked to prepare—for an IPO. Whether your PE sponsor has signaled an IPO exit or you’re proactively preparing for the possibility\, this session will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the transition successfully.  \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll learn by attending: \n\n\n\nHow to develop a realistic IPO preparation timeline \n\n\n\nThe unique IPO challenges PE-backed companies face \n\n\n\nInsights into key financial and operational readiness requirements \n\n\n\nGuidance on assessing your current IPO readiness
