Future-ready CFOs are shaking off the constraints of uncertainty to firmly focus their businesses on innovation and growth. Moving beyond cash flow strategies to build resilience, the bold new face of finance is accelerating its use of automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced analytics. Sharing predictive insights, it’s helping its business get closer to customers, employees, and suppliers, find new channels for growth and deepen its brand loyalty and reputation.

This roundtable will leverage findings from our latest research to debate with senior finance leaders on the following topics:

  • What is “data-driven Finance”? Why does it matter?
  • Is your finance team ready to become a catalyst for change? Why or why not?
  • What is the future operating model for finance to realize its strategic ambition?
  • How can automation and advanced analytics help achieve deeper intelligence, more accurate and agile planning, and faster, better decision-making?
  • How can finance leaders break down silos and foster internal and external collaborations that unlock new opportunities?
