The role of CFO continues to evolve and adapt. Increasing an organization’s agility and resilience requires shifting from the traditional roots of accounting roots to one of a strategic business partner. Senior finance executives still take the lead when it comes to budgeting and financial reporting, but they are also collaborating with the C-suite and other stakeholders across the organization to hone future business plans and forecasts. The transformative nature of the CFO’s role — and a more inclusive planning and forecasting process — requires broader visibility into enterprise performance management systems to provide a clear view of where the company stands and where it is headed. This eBook explores the challenges of improving business processes, the importance of a finance-led Enterprise Performance Management approach, and strategies for how to get there.
