The format

CFO insights, broken down

Planning Aces takes a different format than most finance podcasts. Rather than interviewing a new guest each episode, Glenn and Jack revisit insights from recent CFO conversations across the broader podcast landscape — adding context, challenging assumptions, and drawing out the practical implications for finance practitioners.

The result: a tighter, more analytical lens on the most important ideas in modern finance leadership.

Topics covered

CFO strategies and leadership insights
Planning and forecasting best practices
Technology decisions in the finance suite
Organizational transformation and change
Capital allocation and strategic finance
Career paths to the CFO chair
