The Finance function has been constantly challenged to re-shape and evolve globally over the past few years and Switzerland is no exception to that.
Finance is now moving away from a transactional to a more strategic role. Today, regulators, boards, commercial functions and external stakeholders expect Finance to be a true business partner. Why? Because Finance is in a unique position to provide the insights needed to drive real-time decision making and to elevate business performance. CFOs are perfectly placed to see how disruption can spell opportunity for businesses but the agility to act fast is today more than ever, critical.
Factors such as rapid technological advancements, relentless regulatory changes, the rise of agile enterprise models, an explosion of data, and a heightened need for analytics have combined to place an abundance of new demands on the Finance function. While these demands can seem daunting, with the right operating model, tools and talent Finance can rise to a strategic leadership role.
