Webinar: What’s ahead for CFOs in financial services & insurance
Little more than a year ago, CFOs worldwide would have had a keen sense of what kinds of decisions could tip the scales towards a safe investment or a risk, but 2020 certainly turned every possible decision into something of a gamble.
CFOs now need to understand the current, unpredictable business environment and its implications in order to make the right decisions for their business.
According to Sage's CFO 3.0 – Digital Transformation beyond Financial Management whitepaper, 67% of finance decision makers agree that their role is transforming from number cruncher to business strategist.
Whether they realise it or not, CFOs have a new mandate, to move beyond their traditional roles of analysing past performance, and lead organisations into the new frontier where they're gatekeepers to a vast amount of data and analytics made available through a newly connected and digitalised world.
"Armed with powerful data, the right tools to make accurate analysis and the backing of the business to make swift and responsible decisions, CFOs are poised to be agents for change," says Sage's APAC executive vice president Kerry Agiasotis.
Technology is an enabler, but the extent to which it transforms a business lies with those who are prepared to take the lead."
