On-demand Webcast | Building an agile finance team
What is your definition of having an agile approach to finance and is your team able to deliver on it?
In our April webcast, Brian Veloso (Managing Director, SAP Concur Canada) spoke with special guest Adil Bahir, Senior Manager of Accounting Infrastructure Services at Deloitte, on what financial agility really means. Spoiler alert: it’s about more than just speed.
During the discussion, Mr. Bahir revealed that the top barrier to agility is out-dated processes that have not been streamlined and that demand an unproductive focus on transactional tasks. It’s a barrier many Canadian businesses have become all too familiar with during these challenging times.
