-- Outsourced CFO (OCFO) has successfully hosted its 2026 Scale-Up Con, with the event selling out ahead of time and bringing together founders, executives and advisors for an evening of insight, discussion and connection. The event took place on 19 March 2026 at Innovation City in Cape Town, drawing a strong in-person audience focused on unlocking the next phase of business growth, while also providing attendees with the opportunity to mingle and network with like-minded peers.
Scale-Up Con forms part of OCFO’s ongoing efforts to support the entrepreneurial ecosystem by equipping business leaders with the financial clarity, strategic frameworks and operational discipline required to move beyond early-stage growth into long-term scale. This year’s event continued that focus, with conversations centred on decision-making, leadership development and the systems required to support consistent expansion.
Co-founder and Managing Director of OCFO, Louw Barnardt, highlighted the importance of structured growth and the role of financial leadership in achieving it. “What continues to stand out is that businesses that scale successfully are not just focused on revenue growth, but on building the right financial and operational foundations. Events like Scale-Up Con create a space for honest conversations about what it really takes to grow a business in a sustainable way,” he said.
The event featured a series of expert-led discussions and panels, including contributions from leading voices in entrepreneurship and performance. Among them was Dr Jana Reuther, who emphasised the often-overlooked psychological dimension of business growth. “Most people try to win the venture game through strategy. The real edge is mastering the inner game behind how you think and decide under pressure,” she said.
A key component of the 2026 event was the continued collaboration with ScaleUp Company, whose globally recognised scaling frameworks have influenced many of the principles discussed at the conference. The presence and contribution of its CEO, Nicholas Thiede, further reinforced the importance of disciplined execution and leadership accountability in scaling organisations.
Throughout the evening, speakers and panellists explored the challenges faced by businesses attempting to scale, from funding and operational complexity to leadership and decision fatigue. A consistent theme was the need for business owners to move beyond reactive management and towards proactive, data-driven decision-making.
OCFO, a global financial consulting and accounting firm supporting over 1,300 companies, continues to help businesses navigate these challenges through CFO advisory, cloud accounting and strategic support.
