New useful pieces of contents:
Here is an article about how finance can help drive strategy for the business
Instead of considering the budgeting process a rote exercise or an operational hurdle, CFOs and their companies can use it as a significant opportunity. This is now of greater importance given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those CFOs who are able to successfully transform legacy budget and planning processes can act quickly when faced with change, increase visibility into their companyโs financial health, and better manage the bottom-line profits.
