About Session

Research shows finance leaders are increasingly expected to be strategic advisors that drive business growth, yet too often constrained by manual, reactive work. Despite prioritizing AI in technology investments and talent acquisition, finance teams remain bogged down by manual processes. And with mounting pressure to support complex transformations, from shifting upmarket to experimenting with new pricing, technology setbacks can create severe challenges.

Join Zuora CAO Matt Dobson and OTTO-MATES Founder Em Daigle to dive into the major obstacles finance faces—particularly how breakdowns in order-to-cash processes impede growth and efficiency— and what teams need to scale smarter.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the major order-to-cash challenges facing finance and accounting teams today – and how leaders are solving for them 
  • Learn how the right technology can reduce manual accounting work to create room for more strategic thinking the business requires (and help keep talent engaged) 
  • How to empower finance teams to lead technology decisions that improve order-to-cash and financial operations
