GENCFO Talks

Are buzzwords like “#dailyclose” and “#autonomousfinance” really delivering on their promises—or are they just creating more confusion? In our first #GENCFOtalks of 2025, we’ll cut through the noise and debunk the myths around autonomous finance and consolidation. This is your chance to rethink what truly drives agility, accuracy, and impact in your close process. We’ll explore why the daily close might not be the game-changer you expect, uncover the hidden challenges #ERP systems can create, and examine how to balance automation with the human expertise your processes need. We’ll also reveal why actionable insights matter more than simply shaving hours off the close. Start 2025 with fresh thinking and strategies to transform your #financeprocesses.
