On Thursday, 4th December, AE Business Advisors invites Malta’s SME community to the Hyatt Regency in St Julian’s for the Shape Your 2026 Financial Strategy Business Breakfast, an exclusive morning of insights, strategy, and networking designed to help business owners, founders, and decision-makers turn financial data into clarity as they prepare for 2026 with confidence.

Programme for the day

The morning begins at 9:00 a.m. with breakfast and networking, giving attendees the opportunity to connect with fellow business owners and professionals through meaningful conversations about shared challenges and growth opportunities.

At 10:00 a.m., AE’s Head of Sales & Marketing, Mr Gilbert Formosa, will deliver the keynote, sharing insights into the challenges growing organisations face when financial clarity is lacking, how a fractional CFO can bridge the gap between the need for financial leadership and the ability to afford it, and the tangible value this role brings to the business. His talk will also explore the human dynamics involved in navigating this transitional phase.

Following the keynote, there will be a short coffee break, after which AE’s team of finance experts, along with guest industry professionals, will lead an interactive panel discussion on real-world financial challenges, strategies, and solutions.

Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and contribute their experiences, making the session practical, engaging, and directly applicable to their own business planning.

Why Attend

Running a growing business can feel like chaos; books to balance, decisions to make, and never enough time or resources to focus on the finances that really matter. Hiring a full-time CFO might be out of reach, yet relying on bookkeeping alone leaves you flying blind. This business breakfast is designed to give SME owners and decision-makers practical insights, actionable strategies, and real-world frameworks to regain control, make smarter financial decisions, and confidently steer their business into 2026.

Participants will leave with:

• -A clearer understanding of how to plan strategically for 2026 and beyond

• -Insights into how AE’s Fractional CFO Function bridges the gap between accounting and executive-level financial leadership

• -New professional connections with other forward-thinking SME leaders
