FloQast Predictions 2023
Adam Zoucha, Managing Director EMEA
Digital transformation
“2023 is not going to be the time for business as usual. As recession bites, businesses must consider making strategic investments to support productivity, innovation and to remain competitive. Whilst many may cut back, those businesses pushing ahead with digital transformation will drive greater efficiencies and productivity in a volatile economy. This will place them in a stronger, more competitive position long term.”
Digital transformation and retention
“In a challenging economy retaining the right skills is critical to company performance and productivity. Chronic workplace stress and burnout remains high amongst accountancy teams, and with recession comes additional demands from leadership. Digital transformation will be a central component for the retention of accounting teams in 2023. Adopting the right technology will improve workload and boost productivity - it can also improve employee retention. Provided employees understand the purpose and goals of any technology being implemented, it will improve efficiencies and contribute to greater job satisfaction.”
Razzak Jallow, Chief Financial Officer, FloQast
The Strategic CFO
“With recession comes increased pressure to deliver agile, accurate reporting. CFOs will need to employ the right combination of intelligent automation, deep visibility, and genuinely people-centric collaboration tools to support their team. When the burden of highly-manual, repetitive tasks is removed, CFOs can focus on strategic initiatives to drive the business forward in challenging economic conditions. This will allow teams to do more with less and ensure CFOs have robust real time financial insights to support decision making.”
Tech as the CFOs enabler
“Tech adoption was hugely accelerated during the pandemic and this will continue into 2023 with challenging economic conditions squeezing finance teams harder than ever. Digital transformation must be a priority for CFO’s looking to build more robust, efficient processes whilst simultaneously lowering costs and increasing productivity.”
Cullen Zandstra, Co-Founder and CTO, FloQast
Fintech and technical proficiency
“Financial teams deal with sensitive data every day, hybrid working has elevated security risks with endpoint management being an ongoing challenge. It’s likely that engineers at Fintech organisations will increasingly carry a greater responsibility for engineering products with top security protocols built into their solutions. Working closely with customers will be pivotal to tackling the security challenges faced.”
