CFOs play a critical role in protecting and growing the businesses they serve, yet many overlook one of the biggest financial blind spots: enterprise risk. That was the key message delivered by Mark Sims, President of Madison Insurance Group, when he spoke to the CFO Resources Group, a national network of independent CFOs and financial experts, in January. Sims’ insights into risk management strategies that go beyond traditional insurance struck a chord—so much so that he’s been invited back for a second session to take a deeper dive into the specifics.

"Mark provided an eye-opening look at how businesses can safeguard their revenue and turn risk management into a financial advantage," said David Odom of Strategic Financial Advisors, LLCs.  "CFOs are constantly looking for ways to enhance their clients' financial security while maximizing tax efficiencies, and the solutions Mark presented offer a unique and effective approach. His insights are invaluable for CFOs who want to go beyond the basics and deliver real strategic value."

For Sims, the invitation reinforces the role of forward-thinking CFOs in shaping smarter financial strategies for businesses.

"The best CFOs aren’t just number crunchers—they’re strategic partners who anticipate challenges and help businesses prepare for the unexpected," said Mark Sims. "Every business, regardless of size or industry, benefits when its financial leaders understand how to mitigate risks, protect revenue, and optimize financial performance."

Sims’ upcoming session will build on the success of January’s conversations and provide a more detailed breakdown of advanced risk management solutions, including strategies for insuring against supply chain disruptions, cyber threats, and the loss of key customers or personnel—all critical factors in today’s volatile business environment.
