Scale without an ERP. Build your tech stack with confidence
Our Story
CFO Techstack was founded by Mayday in 2023 to plug a clear gap in the market: a community-led resource for finance leaders who want to build modern finance tech stacks with Xero at the core, without needing a costly ERP migration.
What started as a content and community hub has grown into a movement. Since then, we’ve published 100+ newsletter issues, hosted our first in-person Stacked conferences in London and Sydney, and grown to 13,000+ finance leaders actively building and sharing what modern finance teams (and modern tech stacks) look like in practice.
Run editorially independently, our insights and recommendations are always community-sourced and never pay-to-play.
Our Values
Everything we do is guided by three principles.
Community First
The community's interests come before commercial ones.
It takes years to build trust, hours to lose it. Which is why at CFO Techstack we don't take shortcuts. This community is not pay-to-play, no vendor sits above the community, and there are no hidden agendas.
Every decision we make must serve the community above all else.
Raise the Bar
Good enough isn't. As a community we hold ourselves to a high standard; in the content we produce, the events we run, the partners we work with, and the stories we tell. If we're putting the CFO Techstack name on something, it has to be worth the community's time.
And every time we do it again, it has to be better than the last.
Give and Take
This community thrives because people show up and share openly; real experiences, honest opinions, hard-earned knowledge. That peer-to-peer insight is unmatched, but requires everyone contributing.
You get out what you put in.
We take that seriously ourselves. We show up first with content, events, and connections worth your time. That's our commitment. In return, we ask that you give back what you can. And we’ll ensure you’re celebrated for doing so!
