How to make finance more predictable?
January 20, 2022
The current changing and uncertain economic environment forces companies to reinvent themselves.
They have to continually adapt to better anticipate changes. This situation creates a new need from Finance to be more predictable and able to do rolling budgets and forecasts and fast closing. Thus, predictive finance management becomes crucial.
Predictive finance to address today’s business challenges
Predictive finance provides real-time data, tools and reliable analysis of short and medium term business activity to help make the right decisions and act quickly. In other words, making it easier for the company to get to the right place with minimal risk.
Today Finance needs to efficiently support certain business challenges:
- Rapid growth through acquisitions, LBOs, global expansion, etc. In addition, hyper-growth and transformation require an adaptation of internal management and more efficient processes.
- Improved relations with external investors or financiers, now more sensitive to a clear and accurate exchange of information. Consequently, presenting current and forecasted performance requires reliable reporting aligned with strategy.
- Greater management complexity of decentralized organizations with multiple sites, lines of business or activities.
