Is there anyone that gets excited about updating spreadsheets or manually processing invoices for AR or AP?
Reading the article below, Finance staff on average spend between 60% and 70% of their time on processing transactions, accounting, controlling, compliance and reporting.

Finance Leaders are and will be looked upon to spearhead business-wide operational transformation.
