Supercharging the Finance Function: When CFOs Should Consider Finance Function Assessments and Why

The role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has evolved significantly, driven by advancements in cloud-based finance ERP systems, data analytics, and artificial intelligence, along with rising investor expectations.

Modern CFOs are now key strategic leaders and decision-makers, partnering with CEOs and executive teams to drive value creation and transformation plans.

This expanded role demands a finance function that excels in business insight, speed, and accuracy, and is closely integrated with operations and key business data.

Leading CFOs are addressing these challenges by investing in talent, automation, and process improvements.

A finance function assessment can further accelerate transformation by providing an independent review of current performance and a prioritised roadmap for improvements.
