From the IFI Professionals Blog, Continuous Financial Planning – A Guide: https://bit.ly/2SU75aZ. "Understanding your organization’s financial IQ is the first step as you undertake a Continuous Planning initiative. At this assessment stage it’s crucial to view Continuous Planning as a journey that finance leaders want to start. To achieve Continuous Planning finance must lead the organization to effectively address the People, Process and Technology challenges of the journey. Finance leaders are aware of the pain they’re experiencing in planning, close, and reporting. They understand that they’re challenged with spreadsheets or developing budgets with educated guesses because they cannot get actuals fast enough. Identifying your pain points is essential, but it’s also important to understand the entire journey to achieve Continuous Planning." IFI is a team of accounting, planning & CRM FinTech professionals.

ERP software: 8 benefits of Enterprise Resource Planning systems via Sage: https://bit.ly/3SzpC79. "Keeping your business profitable takes continuous management of all the resources that make it up. Letting this slip leads to inefficiency, which increases your costs and reduces revenue. There are many ways for you to stay on top, but as your business grows, this can get more complex. Before you know it, you’re juggling product stock, cash flow, and people challenges all at the same time, with no way of improving these areas and ensuring they work together. Enter enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. In this article, we’ll explore what this type of software is and how it can benefit your business no matter how big it grows. What is ERP? Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software lets you integrate and manage all your core business processes in real time. That includes everything from finance and HR to supply chain and customer relationship management. In other words, ERP acts as a central, unified hub that connects your data and lets you improve processes across many areas of operations. Where some businesses have specialist solutions in each department (e.g. one for paying employees, one for managing stock levels, and another for storing customer details), ERP users have the advantage of keeping everything connected. This brings many benefits, particularly to complex, medium-sized businesses that struggle to extract the full value of multiple separated solutions."

How the right tech can help you manage outgoing cash via Sage: https://bit.ly/3qLDOjw. “Construction projects have a lot of moving parts – from labor to materials to equipment and a host of suppliers and stakeholders to manage, it can be difficult to stay on top of everything.

Autonomous Finance Requires a New Finance Operating Model Via Gartner: https://gtnr.it/44garVX. “Finance transformation efforts are falling short of CFOs’ objectives in large part because finance leadership has not articulated a vision for its future operating model at the beginning of the initiative. To successfully achieve autonomous finance objectives, finance transformation leaders need to ensure other finance leaders fully understand the scope of changes that genuine transformation requires. This means using an operating model framework that will help orient stakeholders to all the pieces of large transformations. We spoke with Emily Connelly, senior research director in the Gartner Finance practice, to discuss why finance needs a new operating model, why autonomous finance should be a focal point of this new operating model, and what she defines as the main components of an autonomous finance operating model. Q: Why does finance require a new operating model? A: Many CEOs feel that their company’s digital technology investments do not meet expectations in terms of time to complete and time to realize value. If we accept, for argument’s sake, the premise that attempts to modernize the finance organization with digital transformation initiatives also tend to disappoint, we can lay at least part of the blame on the absence of an operating model designed by the finance leadership team that clearly sets out which principles will guide decisions and trade-offs in the journey towards autonomous finance.” READ MORE HERE: https://gtnr.it/44garVX IFI is a team of accounting, planning & CRM FinTech professionals.
