The demands on the finance organization have and will continue to expand. Finance itself needs to grow – in focus, capabilities and contribution – if it is to meet the imperative to add business value while fulfilling its increasingly complex roles and responsibilities.

Through our work with global organizations, Deloitte has identified 10 key finance transformation challenges facing CFOs and finance organizations today – and the strategies to address them. Understanding these challenges and adopting proven strategies can help finance fulfill the expanded role and responsibilities it has at the executive table.

10 key finance transformation challenges facing CFOs and finance organizations

Going global: The finance operating model
How finance earns its stripes: Improving business decision support
Prioritizing capital investments: It’s not as easy as 1, 2, 3
Finance is not a concierge service: Do less and still be valuable
Tax: The “rock stars” of the bottom line
Financial risk management: From intelligence to action
Regulatory changes are coming: Don’t be afraid, embrace the opportunities
Finance talent management: It’s not an on/off switch
If cash is king, how come no one else seems to care?
Prioritizing finance transformation investments

Realistically, finance can’t address all challenges at once. In the end, taking an a la carte approach will help make finance transformation a more satisfying, enriching and value-added venture.
