The steady forward creep of artificial intelligence is “pushing for a different skillset in the finance function,” accelerating the ongoing evolution of CFOs to strategic advisors, said Jennifer Warawa, general manager of controllership at insightsoftware. The technology is changing the role of the finance chief, enabling access to insights in a way that puts accounting or finance leaders in a “great place to be more of an advisor inside the company and be more futuristic,” Warawa said in a interview. Additionally, as finance leaders integrate AI into some of the more routine, lower value processes inside of the function, such as automating accounts payable or receivable, that frees up more time for the individuals who were previously in charge of such processes. #AI https://lnkd.in/g_tuFiG4
