Avoid the Pitfalls of Year-End Financial Close

As each year draws to a close, CFOs are gearing up for one of the most critical tasks in their financial calendar: the year-end financial close. There are key areas to focus on and best practices to ensure this process goes smoothly… but what happens when it doesn’t? More importantly, what is it that trips finance teams up at the last minute?


To explore the ins and outs of year-end close, hosts Melissa Howatson and Tom Seegmiller sit down with Benno van Ingen, Lead Consultant CFO Tech, Finext. Benno has served in various financial roles over the past 20 years, giving him extensive experience with corporate financial processes and firsthand insight into how things can go awry.

  • How an organization is hampered by a lackluster year-end close
  • The specific pitfalls that finance teams want to avoid
  • Ways to mitigate the time crunch associated with this process
  • Legacy tools and systems that can prevent a successful close
