Highlights of Perform25 with Verostone: Where Innovation Meets Strategy

As a proud Gold Sponsor of Planful’s Perform25 event, we were thrilled to join finance and planning professionals for two energetic days at the Andaz Hotel in London. Hosted by Planful, the event brought together visionary thinkers and hands-on practitioners to explore the evolving world of finance transformation.

To everyone who visited the Verostone stand – thank you! We appreciated your time, conversations, and curiosity. And to those who couldn’t attend, don’t worry, we’ve captured the most valuable insights, presentations, and highlights below.

One of the standout moments came from our very own Jite, who delivered a powerful keynote on mastering the 13-Week Cash Flow. His session tackled how short-term forecasting can uncover greater financial control, reduce uncertainty, and help teams shift from reactive to proactive decision-making.
