Managing modern finance in a time of unprecedented change

As CFOs and Controllers, we need to be on the same page when reporting financial and operational data.  From closing the books to preparing for audits, collaboration is critical when providing strategic direction to the organization. 
 
Join our panel of finance leaders as we discuss 5 essential questions controllers should be asking their CFOs to better plan and project the future of their businesses and establish best practices around: 
 
• Closing the books  
• Leveraging automation  
• Preparing for audits 
• Reporting and analytics 
• Designing the future roadmap for accounting software

5 Questions Controllers Should Be Asking Their CFO

Technology should provide solutions, not barriers.

QuickBooks can be an adequate bookkeeping solution for small businesses but its biggest Achilles heel is its inability to scale at the same pace as your company.

Growing organizations need financial management software that leverages automation, delivers powerful business insights, and closes the books faster.

Watch webinar to identify the seven telltale signs your business has outgrown QuickBooks – and what you can do about it.

You’ll learn about:
1. Restrictions costing your business time and money
2. Reducing manual processes, such as invoicing
3. Generating detailed revenue reports that aren’t calculated on a spreadsheet
4. Enabling management to make data-driven decisions using real-time financial insight 
Breaking down information silos so you can share financial data with teams beyond the accounting department
5. Available support for your business with cloud-based modern financial software like Sage Intacct

7 Signs Your Business Has Outgrown QuickBooks

Key Trends That Are Shaping Accounting and Finance in 2023

Change. It’s inevitable. You may have found that in the past, you could easily handle your company’s finances with your current accounting solution and a small number of spreadsheets. As your business expands, you may start to outgrow your current financial management software. You find yourself logging in and out of entities to rekey inter-entity transactions and to ensure everything balances. This makes consolidations difficult and leads to long closes.
