Best Team Building Activities For Finance Departments

Looking for team building activities for your finance department?

Whether you're organising an annual conference, department away day, summer event or Christmas celebration, the right activity can bring your team together, encourage collaboration and give everyone a chance to switch off from the day-to-day demands of finance.

At Dynamic Events, we've delivered team building experiences for finance departments across banking, accounting, insurance and financial services. From small leadership teams of six people to large departmental events, we'll help you choose an activity that suits your team, venue and objectives.

Choosing the Right Team Building Activity for Your Finance Team

Every finance team is different, so there isn't a single activity that's right for everyone. Before recommending an event, we usually ask two simple questions.

How many people are taking part?

The size of your group helps determine which activities will work best. We deliver events for groups of 6 or more, from small finance leadership teams to company-wide conferences with hundreds of participants.

Do you already have a venue?

Knowing whether you're hosting your event in the office, at a hotel or in a city centre allows us to recommend the most suitable experience.

We'll also consider your available time, budget and what you want your team to get out of the event before making a recommendation.

Our Recommended Team Building Activities for Finance Departments

Digital Treasure Hunt

If your finance team wants to get outdoors, enjoy some friendly competition and do something completely different from a normal working day, Digital Treasure Hunt is one of our most popular choices.

Using our interactive app, teams navigate through a town, city or venue, completing challenges, solving clues and earning points on a live leaderboard. It combines strategy, communication and problem solving with plenty of laughs along the way.

Best for:

• Annual conferences
• Summer events
• Department away days
• Large finance teams
• Teams looking for a high-energy outdoor experience

What makes it popular with finance departments is the balance between competition and collaboration. Teams work together to make decisions, solve challenges and plan their route while enjoying a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

Code Breaker

Code Breaker challenges teams to unlock a series of boxes by solving puzzles and cracking codes before reaching the final safe.

It's a fast-paced activity that rewards communication, logical thinking and teamwork without requiring any physical ability, making it suitable for a wide range of participants.

Best for:

• Office events
• Conference breakout sessions
• Quarter-end celebrations
• Smaller and large groups

The Escape

The Escape transforms your team into the prime suspects in an art heist. To clear their names, participants must solve clues, unlock puzzles and work together before time runs out.

The activity creates plenty of discussion, encourages collaboration and keeps everyone involved from start to finish.

Best for:

• Office events
• Hotel conferences
• Leadership teams
• Problem-solving sessions

The Escape is ideal when you're looking for a shorter activity that delivers plenty of engagement without taking over the entire day.

Manor House Murder

Teams become detectives as they examine evidence, interview witnesses and piece together clues to solve a murder mystery.

The activity naturally encourages communication, planning and collaboration while giving everyone a role within the investigation.

Best for:

• Conference entertainment
• Department away days
• Cross-functional teams
• Strategy events

Manor House Murder can also be tailored with company branding and customised content to create a more personalised experience.

The Big Picture

The Big Picture is a collaborative art experience where every participant contributes to one section of a larger image. Individually, each canvas tells very little. Together, they reveal one complete masterpiece.

It's a fantastic way to reinforce the importance of teamwork while creating something memorable your department can display afterwards.

Best for:

• Company conferences
• Department celebrations
• Leadership events
• Teams bringing different functions together

Like many of our activities, The Big Picture can be customised to include your branding, values or event theme.

Team Building or Just Go to the Pub?

Many finance teams celebrate a successful quarter or financial year with food and drinks, and there's nothing wrong with that.

However, adding a team building activity beforehand gives everyone a chance to interact, collaborate and share an experience before the social side of the day begins.

It's often the combination that works best. Your team enjoys an engaging activity together, followed by lunch, dinner or drinks afterwards.
