Today’s CFOs find themselves more accountable for a company’s success than ever before. They’re under increased pressure to cut costs, grow revenue and work closely with their CIOs to ensure they deliver on transformation goals. Add to that, economic uncertainty, increased regulation and more investor scrutiny and its clear why finance transformation is so crucial.

Finance teams need technologies that are up to the task of driving closer alignment between departments and helping the company to better manage risk.

Years of heavily customised finance systems have left businesses with inflexible systems, burdened with legacy and unlikely to cope with changes ahead.  So, transforming the finance function is not optional, it’s become mandatory.

And that brings the changing role of the CFO under the spotlight. The role has become critical to driving successful finance transformation. The CFO must balance the risk of keeping the business running with the risks involved in implementing change. The risk of standing still is too great.
