Unlock Finance’s next act: CFO insights for midsize organisations

Discover how finance leaders are driving growth in CFO Insights: Adapting the Role of Finance to Unlock Business Value—a research report by Oxford Economics with SAP. Based on a global survey of 600 executives from midsize organisations, it shows Finance’s expanding remit—from technology strategy and cybersecurity to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).

Many teams are losing time to manual workarounds and ageing tools that do not scale or integrate well. The report outlines how integrated processes and cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) enable real-time insight, stronger control and faster decisions. It also explores where Artificial Intelligence (AI) will matter most and offers practical actions for the next 12–24 months.

What you will learn

  • Where Finance is taking on new responsibilities—and what to prioritise now.
  • The operational hurdles most slowing teams down today.
  • How compliance pressures (security, privacy, standards and tax) shape choices.
  • The role of cloud ERP, integrated data and AI in improving agility.
  • Four recommended actions to maximise impact in the year ahead.

Who should read this

Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Financial Controller (FC), Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) leaders and finance-adjacent executives in growing midsize organisations.
