There is little doubt the past few years have had an unprecedented impact on individuals across all professions, and the finance function is no exception.
Far from hindering organisational efforts, the pandemic has, in fact, accelerated the pace of change. Place all this upheaval against the backdrop of economic challenges and the finance leader has been thrust yet further into the spotlight.
With automation, centralisation and digital solutions driving 85% of finance teams to undergo or plan a finance transformation[1], we wanted to investigate whether the attributes, capabilities and mindsets of successful finance leaders have changed as a result of the pandemic, and which of these are most critical to the future of the profession.
To do so we interviewed 11 senior finance leaders from across financial services and our findings are revealed in this whitepaper.
With thanks to AICPA and CIMA our partners in publishing this white paper.
