Ask finance and accounting professionals if they would like to do more value adding work and you’ll hear a re-sounding “YES!” Ask them why they are not just doing it already and most often you will hear “I don’t have time”. This is like a chronic disease of the finance function but unlike most chronical diseases this one has a cure! To change the mindset of CFOs and their finance function from “a cost center to becoming a profit driver” as we discussed in a previous article, “Exploring the minds

Remote work’s existence began years ago with the dawn of digital transformation. This development reshaped the very fabric of the corporate world as we know it. For the past year and a half, this profound transition has manifested itself more clearly than ever due to the COVID-19 epidemic, as virtually all office workers were forced to make the exodus from their in-person workplaces to a work-from-home new normal.

A few weeks ago, I valued Zomato, the Indian online food delivery company, just prior to its IPO, and argued that the excitement about its potential was tied to the potential for growth in India and the shifting habits of Indian consumers. Since its public offering, Zomato's stock price has reflected that excitement, more than doubling from its offering price of 74 rupees per share.

Finance teams are drowning in data—but is it actually helping them spend smarter? Without the right approach, excess spending, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities continue to drain profitability. While analytics offers powerful insights, financial intelligence requires more than just numbers—it takes the right blend of automation, strategy, and human expertise.

For those of us on a calendar fiscal, we are probably getting into the process of planning for 2022 and beyond. Since the GFC planning has been focused mostly around growth and a stable economy. The 2022 planning cycle, given recent economic data points, could be anything but another round of the same. Specifically, it will be critical to consider the impact of rising and sustained inflation in our next year forecasts.

While businesses have adjusted to operating during a global pandemic there is still so much uncertainty. Is now the time to move forward with that planned investment? What about workforce considerations? What decisions need to be made about discretionary expenses? Dynamic market conditions may not be anything new but navigating the current business environment and its unprecedented unpredictability has shined a spotlight on just how critical cash flow forecasting is to an organization.

Change is happening in Finance, and we have outlined both how the mindset should change and how to create time and energy for doing more value-adding work. However, knowing that change should happen and making the change happening are two very different things. Especially if you are a CFO and looking at your finance function and thinking how you can transform it to Finance 4.0.

In a post a few weeks ago , I argued that the disclosure process had lost its moorings, as corporate disclosures (annual filings, prospectuses for IPOs) have become more bulky, while also become less informative. I argued that some of this disclosure complexity could be attributed to the law of unintended consequences, with good intentions driving bad disclosure rules, and that some of it is deliberate, as companies use disclosures to confuse and confound, rather than to inform.

A CFO should do everything in their power to avoid events that would damage their company’s finances. Yet, many CFOs are risk-averse to a fault. Ernst & Young’s 2020 DNA of the CFO survey revealed that finance teams in private organizations “are seen as too risk-averse and cost-conscious.” These risk-averse CFOs often shy away from […].

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

It wasn’t long ago that banking customers would remain loyal for life. That’s not because they were happy with their service – many just didn’t have a choice. Historically, financial institutions have made it difficult for people to open accounts elsewhere, and there wasn’t much of a differentiation between what banks offered anyway. Over the last few years, and even more so since the pandemic has gravitated to increasingly digital experiences, that’s started to shift.
