As financial controllers and their finance teams navigate the remainder of 2023, their top priorities continue to focus on preparing essential budgets, overseeing financial reporting, and managing all accounting processes.
Financial controllers are expected to spend significantly more time on digital transformation efforts, and deploying advanced technologies is a critical goal for strengthening finance processes. Such initiatives include launching advanced data analytics tools and technologies, deploying AI to automate reporting, and upskilling employees with new digital skills.
Other significant areas of focus include implementing automated management reporting (AI), addressing data storage needs, and increasing employee engagement.

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, organizations are tasked with evaluating how to best leverage this incredible tool and integrate new technology capabilities into the fiber of their business. AI has the potential to impact the finance function in monumental ways and it is critical to dispel fears of job displacement and understand how to harness AI as a value add rather than replacement. Therefore, CFOs and their teams are getting ahead of the AI curve by actively planning on how to use new tools, technologies, and automation.

But what if you could make the entire process easier with generative AI?
Join AppZen’s SVP of Customer Success, Matt Wright as he explores how AI can enhance your AP inbox and fill the gaps where P2P systems fall short. A few topics will include:

Manual finance processes have long relied on spreadsheets and copying and pasting crucial information, resulting in detrimental errors that have cost organizations a fortune. Not only is there a large margin for human error, but spreadsheets are extremely time-consuming and there is an urgency for FP&A teams to say goodbye to this traditional process. Fortunately, finance professionals have been shifting to cloud-based financial applications and efficient automation to streamline the FP&A function.
