Finance: The new heroes for service-based businesses


We’re living in the Never Normal

How can today’s Office of the CFO provide guidance to navigate the political, financial, and employee turbulence we’re experiencing?

The modern Office of the CFO has moved beyond the back office due to expansion in its functional remit, resulting in unique levels of company-wide awareness, with a foot in the door of every department.

Today’s Office of the CFO is expected to deliver thought leadership with the mindset of an analyst, benchmark and monitor performance objectively, and provide data-driven insights, along with further control and understanding of all company operations through a single lens.


Your firm will increasingly look to you to provide:

Strategic leadership

Back digital transformation projects that give your company the right platform to succeed
Integrated technology

76% of CFO's agree that without “one version of the truth”, the organization will struggle to meet its objectives.
People awareness

The connection between people and financial success

Strategic leadership

Only 11% of CFOs believe their current business models will be economically viable through 2023 and 64% say their companies need to build new digital business strategies to help them get there.

Integrated technology

Tech-savvy CFOs invest in tools that deliver unmatched insight and control of company operations. Seeing the whole business through the lens of finance, the Office of the CFO can help the whole company quickly understand its performance and produce better results, keep closer tabs on both project completion and people performance and engagement, ensure projects are delivered on time, and provide the reporting accuracy and insight your board and investors need to drive the business forward.

People awareness

CFOs intuitively understand the true cost of talent loss, retention, and attraction. They are therefore willing to invest in People Experience to recruit, retain, and grow a digitally-empowered workforce, create a “finance first” culture that helps people understand how their actions impact the bottom line, and help free up people’s time through the automation of core processes.  Learn how to build the best team and reduce turnover
