Finance departments have the gargantuan task of making sure all transactions in the organization are recorded timely and accurately. On top of that, they also need to be ready with valuable business insights so they can support the leaders in the organization in their strategy formulation and decision making.
However, historically finance departments have always handled all financial transactions manually. Finance departments often rely on humans and excel spreadsheets.
It means that one or more of their staff is in charge of collecting and inputting data, cross checking, collaborating with others in the team for the latest version, sending entire sheets for approval, sending back again for changes, etc.
All these while it works (albeit inefficiently) lead to errors and an extremely frustrating budget process.
It is why many finance departments these days who want to keep up with the times resort to finance workflow automation. It basically means automating either the entirety or bits and pieces of the process so that you remove a lot of errors and the slow pace in the process.
