## We Asked, You Answered.

### Finance Professionals were surveyed on their thoughts about Automation in the Finance Back Office.

More than 500 accounting and finance professionals helped create the most comprehensive survey of back-office automation to date.

**We uncovered several key findings:**

1. Despite the pandemic accelerating digital transformation across offices and departments, the corporate finance back office has remained **essentially unchanged**.
2. **Repetitive, manual tasks** are rampant in the corporate finance back office.
3. As a result, there is never enough time in a finance professional’s day to focus on the higher-level business objectives that help to **move the business forward**.
4. Corporate finance professionals face several challenges across the back office, many of which are **solved with technology and automation**.
5. The **time has come** for corporate finance to embrace automation.

### Why should I read this report?

The “new normal” spotlighted one major department in need of automation: the corporate finance back office.

As a result,  we recently surveyed more than 500 finance professionals to understand the levels of automation—and the gaps—in the finance back-office.

### Creating a Self-Sufficient Digital Age

“AI and automation-enabled ERPs are the catalysts of digital transformation with an enterprise. CFOs should harness the data and processes within the ERP system to redefine the future of work and reshape the finance organization.”
