Ventana Research: Change in the Office of Finance

In the fifteen years Ventana Research has delivered research and analysis for the finance industry, their reports found a significant shortening of the monthly and quarterly financial close process. They also note forward momentum in automation and communication across teams via new technology and finance tools. Within organisations, leadership teams have noticed that such improvements signify that the bar is now higher, and that what was once considered average performance for both monthly closing and business performance is now subpar.
