Technology leaders in accountancy and legal firms have never had a broader remit.
You’re expected to keep the business secure and resilient while helping partners embrace AI, improve client experience, support growth and drive greater efficiency. At the same time, you’re navigating evolving cyber threats, increasing regulatory expectations, limited resources and growing expectations from across the business.
This exclusive executive roundtable brings together CIOs, CTOs, IT Directors, Heads of IT and senior technology leaders from accountancy and legal firms for an open discussion about the opportunities, challenges and priorities shaping the future of professional services.
There are no lengthy slide decks or sales pitches. We’ll help guide the conversation around key topics such as AI, cyber security, governance and the evolving role of the technology leader, but this is your discussion. The real value comes from the experiences, ideas and perspectives shared by the people around the table.
Whether you’ve successfully introduced AI, are tackling growing cyber security pressures, or are trying to balance innovation with limited resources, this is an opportunity to share what’s working, discuss the challenges you’re facing and learn from peers who understand the unique demands of technology leadership within professional services.
You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, practical ideas and valuable connections with other technology leaders who are navigating many of the same opportunities and challenges.
Topics we’ll explore
- How accountancy and legal firms are approaching AI strategy, adoption and governance
- The cyber security challenges keeping technology leaders awake at night
- Balancing innovation with risk, compliance and regulation
- Technology priorities that support business growth and operational efficiency
- Managing budgets, resources and competing business demands
- Building and retaining the skills needed for the future
- What AI means for the future of junior talent and career progression within firms

If you’re leading technology in an accountancy or legal firm and want an honest, confidential conversation with peers who understand the pressure you’re under, we’d love to have you at the table.
