Finance transformation

In a rapidly changing marketplace, the finance function has a key role to play in delivering efficiency, insight and value to the business. The introduction of new technologies, increased volumes of data, regulatory changes and the need to deliver more for less adds to the pressure on CFOs and Finance Directors.

Finance functions must move focus from transaction processing and reporting towards strategic business support.

Many organisations have already taken significant steps to improve their back office and have demonstrated that an agile operating model with automation, digital enablement and improved data strategy is key to becoming a strategic partner for the business.

So, what is at the top of the CFO agenda?

• How can we increase focus on value creation? 
• What key business questions are we struggling to answer at pace? 
• How are we using digital solutions, data and analytics to enable profitable growth?
• How does our data strategy enable the needs of the business, our customers and our teams? 
• What operating model changes do I need to make to enable me to quickly adapt to changing requirements?
• What skills and competencies do I need, and how do I best access them?
