Make finance teams strategic leaders, not poor clones of themselves

The Issue

In the US alone 5.4 million professionals work in a finance team (US Bureau of Labor). But increasingly the talent of these millions of professionals around the world is being squandered.

88% of finance leaders say they are held back from having a greater role in driving innovation for their company (Microsoft survey).

-Despite their education and strategic skills, most in the finance department are left doing manual Excel work.

-Multiple clone and low toner versions do transactional finance tasks vs strategic work.

-Problems with error-fueled daily tasks caused by limited automation or consolidation of data delivers incorrect numbers or the wrong story.

-Gen Z (and basically) everyone are frustrated by manual financial tasks and lack of strategic influence in finance teams

Now is the time to act.

The finance team needs to be a strategic business leader, not poor clones of themselves doing endless manual work.

Action is urgent. During an economic downturn  direction is required more than ever by finance teams across the world to give insights and analysis to the numbers. This is a movement to unite anyone who wants a more strategic finance department and end the clone work.
