As we navigate the end of 2022, financial controllers are looking ahead to the new year in preparation for trends and challenges that will shape the controllership and finance functions.
The role of financial controllers has become more robust than ever before and being able to continuously adapt amidst new challenges is critical for the success of the entire enterprise. Accounting departments will be tasked with reevaluating responsibilities for team members to ensure all skills are put to use, therefore focusing a large effort on talent retention.
Other important focuses for financial controllers include harnessing the power of data analytics, evaluating technologies that provide real-time data analysis, translating data into actionable plans, and adjusting to new practices to strengthen existing processes.
