Oracle NetSuite webinar: How Lack of Financial Visibility Affects Decision Making. Financial Reporting & Analytics Tools for Better-Informed Decisions.

Timely, accurate financial data is a must have for effective decision making. Unfortunately, many accounting systems make it difficult to take advantage of this data. Inflexible reports, limited analytics, and reliance on spreadsheets result in poor financial visibility and suboptimal decisions.

How Lack of Financial Visibility Affects Decision Making

Data supports that firms with female CFOs produce superior stock price performance compared to the market average. But despite this, women are still largely underrepresented in the field, even with recent gains. More than ever, female CFOs are advocating and sharing their unique stories—helping to drive diversity in their organizations and assisting other women with getting a seat at the table.

We bring together a panel of female finance leaders to discuss:
- How to tell your story – Sharing your unique background and skills, whether you’re interviewing, sharing data with your team, or advocating strategy to your board.
- Why it’s important to have women in financial leadership roles to help bolster corporate growth, returns, and market valuations.
- Why women are uniquely positioned to excel as the CFO role expands beyond the traditional finance background.
- How to find mentors and role models, as well as become an ally for other women.
