Finance, argued by someone who still holds the seat
Jérôme Le Louer speaks on the fractional CFO model, finance for owner-managed companies, and what AI actually changes in a finance team. The talks are built from engagements running that month rather than slides that have been on the road for years, and the figures in them are real, rounded only where a client would otherwise be identifiable.

Thailand CFO Summit 2025
Moderator of the afternoon panel, The Strategic CFO: A Vision Beyond the Balance Sheet, at the Radisson Blu Bangkok, with CFOs and finance executives from Thai and international groups.
Three arguments, one seat
The fractional CFO model
What it is, what it costs against a full-time hire in Bangkok, how it fits beside an in-house CFO rather than replacing one, and the situations where it does not work. The Finance ReImagined keynote is the current version of this talk.
Finance for owner-managed companies
The moment the numbers stop keeping up with the business, why growth without a finance function is survivable right up until it is not, and what to fix first: cash visibility, a close that can be trusted, and one page for every entity.
What AI actually changes in a finance team
Which work is safe to automate and which is not, why the order of operations matters more than the tool, and what a three-layer finance function looks like: transactions automated, control and judgment kept scarce and senior.
