Join us for a high-level private roundtable lunch for senior financial services leaders, hosted by the Circle in partnership with Fusion5. This exclusive, off-the-record gathering will feature a conversation with Tom Langley, EGM Corporate and Strategic Finance at Xero, and will explore how the role of the CFO is evolving in an era of disruption, agility, and accelerated decision-making.

This is a unique opportunity to join an influential group of financial executives from across banking, funds management, insurance, superannuation, professional services, and enterprise. The discussion will be focused, relevant, and practical - cutting through the noise to uncover how finance leaders are turning data into strategy, empowering teams with technology, and leading transformation agendas at the highest level of their organisations.

Tom Langley brings deep insight into how a fast-scaling, cloud-native business like Xero is reshaping its finance function to align with growth, complexity, and investor expectations. His experience at the intersection of corporate strategy and finance provides a rare window into the operating mindset of a next-generation CFO.

We are proud to be partnering with Fusion5, one of Australasia’s leading business solutions providers, known for helping complex organisations modernise their systems, gain financial clarity, and drive strategic value through ERP transformation. With a strong track record in financial services and institutional environments, Fusion5 understands the distinct challenges CFOs face — from navigating regulatory change to building agile, insight-led teams that can keep pace with evolving business models. Their expertise in platforms such as Microsoft, Workday, and NetSuite positions them as a true transformation partner to the finance function.

We are delighted that Workday will be hosting this briefing for meaningful connections, practical insights, and real peer exchange. The room will include senior representatives from Judo Bank, Wingate Financial, Bank Australia, Arnold Bloch Leibler, Adairs, APT Travel, Cbus, Cricket Australia, local government, and the not-for-profit sector. Together, this diverse and dynamic group will explore the future of finance from multiple angles — strategy, systems, people, and performance.

If you are unable to join us personally, we welcome a senior nominee from your leadership team. Places are limited to ensure a quality conversation and a high degree of peer engagement.
