CFO-level expertise without the full-time cost: SME Business Breakfast

On Thursday, 25th June 2026, AE Business Advisors invites Malta’s SME community to the Hyatt Regency Malta, St Julian’s, for the an SME Business Breakfast, taking place from 9:00am to 12:00pm. 

Designed for SME owners, founders, and decision-makers, this event will explore how businesses can gain greater financial clarity, improve decision-making, and build a stronger foundation for future growth through Fractional CFO support. As businesses grow, financial decisions become more complex, and while a full-time CFO may not be the right fit for every organisation, strategic financial guidance remains essential. 

Attendees will gain insights into planning strategically, turning financial data into actionable business decisions, bridging the gap between bookkeeping and executive-level financial leadership, and creating sustainable growth without the cost of a full-time CFO. 

Attendance is free of charge and participants will also have the opportunity to connect with fellow business leaders, and discover practical strategies to help their businesses move forward with confidence.

Join SME Business leaders for a morning of insights, strategy, and connections.

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.

This morning session 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
