AI-Powered Finance Solutions: The innovator’s new dilemma
Innovations and opportunities are everywhere for finance teams these days: Generative AI, cloud-based systems, data virtualization, process automations, predictive models, and so many more. And all come with the promise to better position the finance team to solve its stubborn challenges and be a more impactful business partner for the whole organization.
Yet for many finance leaders, all that potential remains stubbornly out of reach. It’s not a question of whether innovation can help—most agree that transforming their operations is essential. Their real dilemma is more practical: “How do we make it happen?”
Indeed, many finance teams are already struggling to cover their core responsibilities amid persistent cost, talent, and bandwidth pressures. When can they find time to innovate?

To mitigate their multiple challenges, finance leaders are seeking new and often radically different strategies to help them break the pileup of persistent issues that continue to be a drag on performance. Many are outsourcing key finance functions to leading-practice service delivery providers in an approach that KPMG calls Finance as a Service (Faas). The FaaS model has quickly demonstrated that it can accelerate innovations and deliver impactful results by helping finance teams:
- Improve costs by reducing legacy tech debt, streamlining infrastructure, and freeing up investment for scalable, cost-effective solutions.
- Optimize data via advanced tools to unify data, ensure accuracy, and leverage AI to increase automation and strengthen governance.
- Enhance insights with intelligent forecasting tools and real-time analytics to support faster decisions, better reporting, and improved financial outcomes.
- Access leading-edge tech and deploy new systems quickly with highly skilled support to ensure smooth adoption and maximize returns on AI and cloud solutions.
- Close talent gaps by leveraging much-needed skills at scale to quickly elevate performance, support growth, and upskill in-house teams.
Finance as a Service: End-to-End Coverage Across Finance’s Essential Operations
FaaS focuses on providing full-service continuity by tightly connecting and fully managing finance’s three overall functions: transactions, closing, and financial planning and analysis (FP&A). Crucially, the FaaS model is embedded with powerful AI capabilities and cloud-based solutions from the start, ensuring companies always have access to the latest technologies. Here’s a closer look at the three tightly connected service delivery areas:
This covers the critical day-to-day details of finance operations: inventory management, invoice tracking, revenue collections, contract management, and more. FaaS providers significantly streamline these essential processes with customized application modules that are tailored to each client’s industry and needs, leveraging AI and the cloud to improve the speed and performance of transaction management.
This suite of services deploys AI-powered machine learning, process automations, and GenAI outputs to empower teams to significantly improve the speed and accuracy of closing cycles. Specific modules are customized to meet client needs, accessing all required data in the cloud. The entire closing process is managed by the FaaS provider in tight coordination with the company’s finance leaders.
Welcome to next-generation FP&A. This suite of services is the engine room of intelligent performance, with the FaaS provider working with the company’s senior leaders to deliver enhanced insights and timely forecasts that support strategic planning. This is done with levels of speed and excellence that allow the company to pursue new opportunities with significantly more operational agility.
