It’s harder than ever to work in Finance. Finance teams today must deliver on a dual mandate: provide effective governance to the business (e.g., accounting, controls, reporting) as well as effective guidance (e.g., risk management, product development, competitor analysis). And these demands on Finance’s capabilities and resources will only compound through 2020 as new analysis, customers, and regulations are introduced.

Actively advise key decision makers in the business,

Support major investment-related decisions,
