  • 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.

#292 The Reporting Change Every CFO Needs to Prepare For, Paula Kensington, GrowCFO Mentor
Q: What does a project to implement this properly look like?
There are four pillars (governance, risks and opportunities, metrics and targets, strategy) and a requirement to make climate risk central to planning, with living risk registers, scenario analysis, and evidence-backed disclosures that evolve over time.
#292 The Reporting Change Every CFO Needs to Prepare For, Paula Kensington, GrowCFO Mentor
Q: What are the changes that are coming up that folks need to be aware of?
Paula explains the shift to ISSB standards (S1/S2), phased in Australia and parts of Asia, and the expectation that climate reporting will increasingly drive strategy and disclosures, not merely serve as compliance; she outlines the need for a proactive, forward-looking approach and governance around climate risk.
#291 Why Most AI Projects Fail to Deliver ROI, Sinohe Terrero, CFO and COO, Envoy
Q: Why isn't AI delivering the ROI it should?
The ROI gap often stems from viewing AI as a full-stack, off-the-shelf solution rather than starting with focused use cases, aligning it to specific business processes, and ensuring the people involved have the skills to implement and govern it effectively.
#288 Why Great Companies Lose Their Way After Going Public with Eric Ries, Author, The Lean Startup
Q: Eric, you've written about Corruptible and the dangers of mission drift; what led you to this line of inquiry?
The pressures from investors and the lure of short-term profitability can erode long-term value; I wanted to articulate a framework where mission, trust, and governance are built into how we measure profitability and make strategic decisions.
#287 Why AI Hesitation Could Cost CFOs More Than Bad Decisions, Todd McElhatton, COFO, Zuora
Q: Where do you see the build-it-yourself versus buy-it decision going for AI in finance?
The decision hinges on integration capabilities, domain expertise, and the need for an accurate system of record; in many cases, leveraging established providers with strong compliance and auditability makes more sense than trying to recreate those capabilities in-house.
