Board-level decisions start here

Roadmap your 2026 finance strategy in two days at the Finance, Accounting & Bookkeeping Show (FAB), powered by AccountingWEB – the year-round, always-on finance insight platform, with 30,000 visitors engaging every day. FAB brings finance leaders, accountants and vendors together to share what works, test ideas and shape the year ahead, so you leave with clear decisions, practical next steps and peers you can call on.

ROADMAP 2026 IN two days

    • Peer circles with leaders like you. Join focused roundtables and networking sessions with CFOs and FDs facing the same choices. Compare real decisions on AI, M&A as a route to growth, timing of new initiatives and working with fractional C-suite professionals.
    • Evidence-first sessions — insight you can act on. Journalist-curated talks unpack real ROI curves, payback timelines and board-ready templates across automation, cash, risk, ESG and talent. You’ll walk out ready to brief the exec team on Monday..
    • Refine your finance system strategy — in one stop. Stress-test leading solutions and interrogate the people who build them. Leave with a clear, informed shortlist and a plan for what to do now, next and later — zero sales fluff.

    FAB is designed for finance leaders at every growth stage. If you are the CFO or FD of a newly formed entrepreneurial start-up (pre-revenue to £5m), a scale-up going through its first round of professionalising the leadership team (£5m–£50m), or an established business planning its next phase of expansion (£100m–£1bn), FAB gives you the space to step back, sense-check your priorities and return with a sharper plan.

    As a finance leader, you also gain access to FAB’s premium formats: VIP Connected Buyer meetings, curated Boardroom Debates and the Finance Leaders’ Networking Exchange. These are designed to give you structured time with peers and vendors, focused on your real projects — from refreshing your finance systems to exploring funding, exits or new markets.

    Peer insights, zero guesswork

    Sessions for finance leaders cut straight to the issues on your desk and are built around the real decisions CFOs and FDs are making now: whether AI can finally cut manual close time in Automation & AI: The CFO’s Efficiency Revolution, how finance steps up as a change leader in Power Skills: How the Finance Profession Can Lead, Influence & Thrive, and how to reshape the role in Elevating the CFO Role: Leadership in a Growth-Focused Business.

    Boardroom Debates, our new roundtable offering for 2026, let you kick around growth structures, M&A and fractional models with peers, while a Chief Economist keynote, a dedicated finance leaders’ networking hour and focused panels on deploying capital and choosing technology give you context and examples you can feed straight into your next board discussion. 

    "I had the incredible opportunity to speak at FAB. It was a privilege to deliver my talk on 'The CFO Tech Stack and AI'. I was thrilled by the feedback from so many attendees who left my talk with useful insights to implement in their business." Dhosjan Greenaway-Dalini, Fractional CFO, BIA Innovate
