Turmoil and Opportunity within the Office of Finance

Turmoil and Opportunity within the Office of Finance

The pandemic, global Supply Chain disruption, inflation, labor shortages and market volatility, have most Offices of Finance scrambling feverishly to figure out what adjustments to make to annual and strategic plans, to remain on safe ground. In other cases, CFOs are simply trying to figure out how to survive the next 12-18 months.

Because of this, today's Office of Finance leaders are once again at the forefront of making the most critical company decisions, based on the information available to them. They are tasked with the challenges of forecasting unknown demand, often with limited technology and stretched team resources. And now the ability to quickly adjust strategies is paramount to survival. It's no longer enough to take on digital transformation initiatives to reduce waste, free-up capacity and drive revenue.

He/she also have realized the right financial technology, that rapidly deploys data and analytics securely at scale, will help them do this. Having the right data, people and analytic processes NOW, will afford the Office of Finance to better adapt and adjust to the post pandemic world, and unforeseen volatility into the future.

The Resurgent Finance Leader realizes that the current environment is the opportunity of a lifetime to lead the finance function of the future, but that this finance function needs radical transformation to seize market growth opportunities.
