Why Strategic Finance is Important?

Out of the many functions that report into the office of the CFO, the trinity of corporate finance, treasury and corporate development share a lot of common characteristics, such as:

• Complex spreadsheet-driven financial models
• Need for elaborate what-if scenario analysis
• Proximity and scrutiny by the c-suite and board of directors that necessitates quick and fact-based responses to strategic issues.

In most companies, these 3 functions also suffer from the same inadequacies around:

• Lack of consolidated views of analysis across models
• Limited accounting integrity and ties to the G/L (Chart of Accounts)
• Error-prone spreadsheets
• Long simulation times limiting responsiveness

While other finance functions have fairly sophisticated software solutions that have evolved over the past decade, very few options exist for bringing together the processes owned by corporate finance, treasury and corporate development.
