Tech CFOs must deliver faster insight and lower run rate costs without a risky rip and replace. This session shows how leading teams modernize finance with targeted automation across FP&A, procure to pay, order to cash, and record to report while strengthening controls and data quality. 

 

Our point of view is simple: 

  • Prioritize usage and adoption metrics over lagging ROI. 
  • Leverage the platforms you already own. 
  • Sequence quick wins that fund the roadmap. 

You will leave with a 90-day plan to reduce manual effort, shorten the close, and improve profitability. We will compare service models including shared services and a co-sourced center of excellence and show how to keep strong oversight while moving at the pace of product and platform releases.
