Welcome to our June Edition of the Zanda Newsletter!
We’ve come to the end of another month and another quarter, so there is lots for us to reflect on and also share with you! Our CFO community is buzzing with another two roundtables hosted this month, as well our summer FutureCfO cohort launching in NYC. But Founders fear not, we haven’t forgot about our amazing Founder network as in just under a week we have our Founders roundtable happening in London!
So, it is go, go, go for us as we head in to Q3 and July, and we are glad you are with us for the ride.
We’d be super grateful, if you find these newsletters insightful to share them with your network. Also, remember to reach out if you have a Finance leader requirement or need any advice on how to elevate your finance function.
