Navigating the Digital Financial Transformation Journey | Stacy Brown

FP&A professionals spend so much of their time gathering data, and only a small portion analyzing it. Integrating digital transformation in finance has the potential to shift this dynamic by automating data collection and allowing more time for in-depth analysis and interpretation.

Stacy Brown is VP at CBIZ (Formerly Marcum Technology) and has more than 15 years of experience advising on ERP and CPM implementations. Stacy specializes in financial planning and analysis (FP&A), financial reporting, workforce planning, and financial forecasting, leveraging her extensive accounting and finance background to help organizations create efficiencies within their finance organizations.

In this episode, Stacy talks to host Melissa Howatson about the lessons she’s learned through these implementations and her advice for organizations beginning their digital transformation journeys.

Learn how finance can benefit from investing in digitization, and the role CFOs need to play in leading digital transformation within their organizations.

The five steps of a digital transformation journey in finance, including the implementation of a modern ERP.
