For many CFOs, the demand for financial process transformation represents an enormous opportunity. This is an opportunity to not only dramatically improve operations and reduce costs (a traditional role for the CFO), but to also leverage this experience to become the hub for digital business process transformation initiatives throughout the organization.
In other words, embracing change and automating financial processes can create long-term benefits for both the CFO and the organization. It can position the CFO as a powerful force in the broader corporate objective of digital transformation and business process transformation.
