If your team spends 8 days closing the books—you’re already behind. Manual reconciliation is the anchor slowing finance down. Automation cuts that time by 70%—freeing CFOs to: - Close in days, not weeks - See liquidity in real time - Shift focus from matching data to managing strategy In our latest blog, we show how CFOs are turning reconciliation from a blocker into a growth enabler. https://lnkd.in/e-qg24CB #FinanceOps #MonthEndClose #Liquidity #PaymentReconciliation #FinancialReconciliation #CFOInsights #Automation #StrategicFinance

The best CFOs make their mark quickly—not by doing everything, but by doing the most impactful things first. That means aligning with what success looks like for the company, creating clarity with unified metrics, and translating data into insights stakeholders can actually use.

Finance isn’t a reporting factory. The real value of finance is insight. It’s providing the data to the business to make smarter decisions. The role should be: here are the numbers, here are the gaps/gains, these are the reasons and these are the suggested actions. When finance get stuck only in reporting, it becomes reactive. Finance should be advising, it should be a driver of growth. That’s why automation and standardization matter, not only because they save time and money, but because they free finance teams up to actually partner with the business. #FinanceLeadership #FutureOfFinance #CFO #HeadOfFinance #FinanceBusinessPartner #OperationalExcellence #BusinessGrowth #FinancialController #FinanceCommunity

What almost every IT Services CFO gets wrong about valuation Hi, it’s Hussnain. When I ask CFOs what their business is worth, most jump straight to revenue multiples. “X times revenue, right?” ❌ Wrong. Here’s the thing: buyers and auditors don’t just look at your topline. They care about what really drives value. That means: - How sticky your client contracts are - Whether utilisation rates are stable - If your “recurring revenue” is truly recurring, or just project work with a nice label This is why Purchase Price Allocations (PPA) and share-based payment valuations matter. They strip away the guesswork and show which assets and relationships actually hold value and which don’t. CFOs who understand this don’t just tick compliance boxes. They walk into M&A talks with leverage, de-risk their audits, and give boards clarity for smarter decisions. Talk soon, Hussnain

The mirror you as CFO can't ignore Why does "reconciliation" so often get pushed to the bottom of the pile? Because it shines a light where most would rather look away. But for you, it's not just a monthly accounting task. It's a direct reflection of your organization's integrity. It's the one process that relentlessly reveals what others might miss: – Unexplained revenue leakages silently eroding your margin. – Costly mismatches creating hidden compliance risks. – Revenues that slip through the cracks, unaccounted for. – Processes that are efficient only on paper, wasting countless hours. Reconciliation isn't the bottleneck. It's the clearest mirror of your financial reality. What would you find if yours was 100 % automated and accurate?
