Breaking the glass ceiling
What’s the bottom line?
“The benefit to finance’s involvement is that finance brings a unique perspective on risk and is able to quantify the risk exposure the company faces.” - Chief Accounting Officer, Consumer Products
Finance has key skills that the business values — foresight, organizational cohesion, collaboration and information and technology knowledge.
According to our study, the business already recognizes the value these skills. Finance needs to leverage these skills to gain more strategic influence and to strengthen its seat at the table.
Finance executives must clearly demonstrate their understanding of business priorities and have the right teams in place to respond proactively and effectively with relevant and timely information.
Any delay in hiring and training appropriately skilled resources or in using key enablers to leverage finance’s capabilities could permanently limit — or diminish — the role finance could play in helping the business to achieve performance and growth objectives.
