Discussion
On August 7th, join us for a virtual panel discussion bringing together forward-thinking CFOs and Sr Finance leaders to unpack the future of finance amidst economic uncertainty, rising compliance demands, and pressure to do more with less.

As inflation and margin pressures persist, our Panelists will share how supplier reviews and cost-optimization strategies are unlocking savings across indirect spend. The panel will dive into how RPA and intelligent document workflows are mitigating staffing shortages and reducing operational bottlenecks, while touchless AP automation delivers real-time visibility and control.
Attendees will also hear how finance teams are addressing data silos through direct data mapping and unified analytics, allowing faster, insight-driven decisions. Whether modernizing or scaling, this session offers practical, trend-aligned strategies to meet today’s toughest finance challenges.
