The evolving role of Finance: driving strategy, insights, and growth

Finance is transitioning beyond its typical role as a financial steward - focused on compliance, record-keeping, and reporting - to becoming a key driver of business strategy and a trusted guardian of organizational data. While fiduciary responsibilities remain essential, finance leaders are now championing data integrity and ensuring reliable insights are widely accessible to inform company-wide decisions.

Join our webinar The evolving role of Finance, where Group Head of FP&A James Pakenham and Subject Matter Expert Dan Harrison, will explore:

  • the key drivers reshaping finance’s role, including the growing demand for real-time data in decision making, and the critical focus on data privacy, security, and governance
  • barriers to adopting broader data ownership and the potential risks of delaying change
  • practical steps for ensuring a smooth transition, from integrating financial and operational data, to equipping finance teams with the skills to manage both
  • how BI and FP&A tools empower finance enabling you to organize and share all business data more effectively
Elevate finance’s role as a true business partner and get trusted data into the hands of decision makers.
