London, United Kingdom – CloserStill Media, organiser of Finance Forum, has announced a new partnership with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), to support the development and delivery of its 2025 event programme. 

Taking place on 7 October 2025 at Old Billingsgate, London, Finance Forum 2025 will bring together senior in-house finance leaders and decision-makers from mid-to-large organisations for a day of strategic insight, trend exploration and collaborative problem-solving. Designed to reflect the evolving role of modern finance leaders, Finance Forum 2025 aims to equip attendees with the tools, ideas and connections to drive innovation, tackle industry challenges, and futureproof their organisations. 

As part of the collaboration, the ACCA will co-host a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Fireside Chat on the main stage, hosted by AB Magazine’s Editor in Chief, Jo Malvern.  

ACCA will also be supporting a series of structured peer-to-peer sessions, designed to facilitate knowledge sharing and discussion in smaller group settings.  

ACCA members will have access to discounted tickets and priority booking.   

 “We’re thrilled to be working with the ACCA on this partnership - one rooted in shared values and a real commitment to supporting the finance community” said Ollie Hughes, Founder of Finance Forum and Senior Portfolio Director at CloserStill Media. “Together, we’re building something that enables real learning, open discussion, and meaningful connections. From our Table Talks to the CFO Fireside Chat, this collaboration is about giving in-house finance professionals the space to engage, challenge ideas, and walk away with something valuable.”
