More about our partnership

We enjoy a close relationship with Evelyn Partners – the merged businesses of Tilney and Smith and Williamson, in particular the Entrepreneurial Services team.

EquityFD and EquityChair co-host regular networking dinners and have worked together on many events.

EquityFD works with Evelyn Partners on our own CFO Summit, The Contemporary FD. This takes place yearly and attracts upwards of 150 CFOs and FDs, (no sponsors, no pitches, no Powerpoint!). The themes thus far have included the Finance Director as value creator and the Finance Director as risk navigator. Since March 2020 we have taken the spirit of Contemporary FD on line and now also host regular webinars entitled The ContemporaryFD Bitesized. The topics are varied, from exit in a pandemic to the latest trends in RPA. Watch recordings of these webinars here.

Additionally EquityChair partners Evelyn Partners on a number of events aimed at the Contemporary NED including discussing issues around digital transformation and scaling businesses.
