  • Fun and Engaging

    Kevin is such a great host and is skilled at drawing out pertinent information. Thank you for having me on the show. I had a truly amazing time discussing the NFP sector’s uniqueness. Thank you for creating a space to help amplify its voice. To every finance leader in the NFP sector, remember you are more than a numbers person, you are a mission enabler. Keep showing up with clarity and driving trust through transparency. Thank you again Kevin!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#276 Why Information Security Is Now a CFO Responsibility, Howard Francioni, Lead Auditor, Akton Boundrie Group
Q: Why should a CFO be worried about information security?
Because failures can cause reputational damage, disrupt operations, damage relationships with customers and suppliers, and incur significant financial losses; governance and risk management are essential to prevent and mitigate such outcomes.
#275 How to Choose Between AI-Native Tools and Proven Finance Platforms, Gavin McGahey, CTO & Co-Founder, AccountsIQ
Q: Gavin, should CFOs worry that AI in a 20-year cloud-based platform can keep pace with newer AI-native offerings, or should they look for brand-new AI-native applications?
AccountsIQ emphasizes a secure, well-governed, and predictable platform with robust controls and audits, arguing that mature cloud-based systems can safely adopt AI in a controlled, transparent manner without sacrificing reliability. They caution against unvetted personal AI tools and highlight their compliant, auditable approach as a strength over rapid, unchecked AI-native promises.
#274 How to Value Brand Equity in an M&A Deal, Stevey Arroyo, Founder & Partner, The Brand Exit
Q: How is AI changing the game for brand discoverability and valuation?
AI helps with discoverability by enabling more efficient market positioning, better SEO/conversion metrics, and training tools to identify and maintain brand visibility, which supports higher perceived and actual value during due diligence.
#274 How to Value Brand Equity in an M&A Deal, Stevey Arroyo, Founder & Partner, The Brand Exit
Q: Tell me what this brand value thing is all about.
Brand value quantifies how much customers prefer a brand beyond the product itself, and it can materially affect sale prices by providing a defensible, measurable asset rather than a vague reputational concept.
#272 How to Move from Finance Leader to CFO, Richard Turner, GrowCFO Mentor
Q: What would the first two or three sessions focus on when mentoring a new mentee?
Laying out principles of confidentiality, directness, and intentional commitment, then discussing key success factors and conducting a gap analysis.
