In today's episode Adrian Lawrence from FD Capital talks about How to take your company public.

Every CFO dreams of taking a company public. It’s something every  CFO aspires to achieve during their career. As a CFO, you’re the guiding  force behind taking your company public. Before you can start raising  capital or talking about an IPO, there are several hurdles your company  will need to pass.

Taking your company public isn’t easy; it takes time, money, and  expert manoeuvring to overcome the complex challenges. Getting the  initial public office (IPO) for your company right could take months –  even years – to prepare.

While taking a company public is a herculin effort, most of the  challenges fall on the shoulders of the company’s CFO. The weight of  audit standards, governance, and increasing regulations means that  getting your company to the IPO stage can feel like an uphill battle.

Our senior team of CFOs are sharing their wisdom on the tips you  need to know to take your company public. Not every CFO will have the  experience of guiding their company through the IPO stage or preparing  them to go public.

When you join a company as a CFO, it’s important to find out whether  going public is part of their long-term strategy. Finding this out  early will allow you to plan accordingly.

In todays episode Adrian Lawrence an experienced CFO himself talks about the key considerations and key milestones in your first 101 days in your new role.

Starting a new job is always daunting. Making a first impression  isn’t easy. You want to hit the ground running and put yourself on the  path to success. If you’re a CFO, the pressure is even greater.

Recent years have seen the position of CFO grow in leaps and bounds.  It’s no longer a job that sees you just balancing the books. CFOs have  taken on a strategic role within companies as the second-in-command to  the CEO.

A successful CFO has the potential to change the fortunes of the  company and put them on the path to sustainable growth. While measuring  success is arbitrary, your first 101 days as CFO are a test of your  fitness for the role. If you’re stepping into the role of CFO, you want  to start with a plan for your first 101 days.
