The Tech Effect: a CFO Leadership Council Recap
What’s on the Minds of CFOs as They Face Greater Challenges and a Sea of Digital Transformation Technologies?
The Silicon Valley Chapter of the CFO Leadership Council hosted a panel on May 26 around “The Tech Effect: How Finance Can Win the Tech Race.”
The discussion panel featured Annie Wayne, CFO at Liongard, Razzak Jallow, CFO at FloQast, Charly Kevers, CFO at Carta, and was moderated by Tipalti’s VP of Finance, Alex Cedro.
The group shared their thoughts on new requirements and advancements in the office of the CFO, how they go about researching and evaluating new solutions, their stance on ROI studies, implementation challenges in deploying their tech stacks, and projections on a potential recession.
Key takeaways
- Involve others cross-functionally to build consensus and perspectives
- Keep it simple: Narrow your scope and reduce scope creep
- Simultaneously find big problems with potentially short time to value and large, repeatable payback
- Employee satisfaction and morale are more valuable than ROI
- CFOs are at the center of the process
