2020 was in many ways an unusual year for everyone. The office of the CFO felt this with full force as it was thrust into the center of decision-making in most companies. When times are bad business leaders look to Finance to help get them safely through the troubled waters. This has led to high pressures on the finance function and long hours for extended periods. It has also led to a lot of opportunities to showcase how Finance can impact the value creation in the company.
Drive Functional Improvement For Efficient Performance
To bring the 2021 plan of safeguarding the cash flow, CFOs and finance leaders are working towards improving the operational efficiency of the finance function.
This includes areas that have been impacted due to remote working in the new normal, like employee productivity, staff engagement, and retention. Besides these areas, they are also looking for ways to optimize the finance organization structure (which includes improving the structure, talent, and capabilities) and the operational costs to support growth. They need to optimize the existing operational model in a manner that helps them meet the business objectives.
Even as they focus more on digitization, the CFO’s need to address the other tasks present on their to-do lists for 2021. They acknowledge that the other concerns on their plate will take more time and effort to achieve than anticipated.
