The role of finance leaders has evolved over a period of time and demands a deeper insight into the “why” of financial outcomes to make strategic decisions. Today, leaders require more understanding of the context to decipher the whys, such as why sales revenues are increasing in one product segment or why Accounts Receivable (AR) numbers are suddenly outperforming.
The significance of these “Whys” lies in the ability to consolidate financial transactions from one or more sources and generate valuable insights, enhancing the efficacy of business intelligence. An ESG survey underscores this growing need, with a staggering 85% of respondents asserting that organizations must shift from merely reporting “what” to why. This shift has also propelled Advanced Data Analytics technologies to the forefront of the CFOs’ priorities, as revealed by Gartner.
