Finance is being asked to do more with less, even as the business environment becomes more complex.
Finance is under continued pressure—from company leadership, external cost benchmarking, investors’ margin expectations, and the CFO’s own cost leadership role—to reduce the cost of running the function.

To fulfill both imperatives simultaneously, Finance must significantly improve its efficiency and reinvest resources in building new and needed capabilities.
