A progressive shift is taking place within organizations. Finance automation tools are enabling corporations to increase efficiency, improve accuracy and decrease risk. Accountants are unleashed to be more proactive, focus on complex and judgmental areas and drive strategic business decisions. This what the future of accounting looks like: processes are automated, data is connected, and the role of the accountant is elevated. The accounting team’s value expands beyond executing checklists historical reporting to include proactive analytics and a seat at the decision-making table. We call it the role of the Exceptional Accountant.
After this session attendees will be able to:
- employ best practices, resulting in a better utilized more efficient organization that focuses on risk management, compliance and data analytics;
- transform the way accounting and finance work, by reducing less rewarding tasks resulting in better attraction and engagement of top talent; and
- understand the power of automation and how it strengthens accounting organizations.
