The financial landscape is shifting rapidly, and businesses can no longer afford to wait for change over the next decade. Immediate action is crucial. PwC’s Finance Evolution: Thriving in the Next Decade outlines the pressures facing finance teams today—from digital transformation and sustainability demands to efficiency challenges. LBSPartners is here to help you tackle these issues now, ensuring your business is agile, sustainable, and future-ready before the challenges escalate.
Key Themes and Solutions for Today
Lean Transformation: Removing Inefficiencies
With 37% of companies already revamping their operating models, finance teams are under pressure to optimise processes and deliver results faster. Streamlining operations through Lean principles reduces wasted time and effort, allowing teams to focus on value-driven activities like strategic forecasting and stakeholder engagement.
LBSPartners can help your team implement Lean strategies to simplify workflows and increase productivity immediately.
Sustainability in Focus
Sustainability is no longer optional. As circular economy principles gain traction and ESG reporting becomes mandatory, finance teams must embed sustainability into their operations. AI and automation tools, such as e-invoicing, can help meet these demands while building trust with stakeholders.
Work with LBSPartners to align your operations with sustainability goals, ensuring compliance and competitive advantage today—not tomorrow.
Digital Solutions for Immediate Gains
The integration of technology like AI and analytics is already transforming the finance function. While 70% of businesses have tested AI, many still struggle to see meaningful results due to poor implementation. Building an autonomous, forward-looking finance function requires the right tools and training to deliver reliable, real-time insights.
LBSPartners specialises in deploying tools like Power BI and Power Automate to ensure your finance operations are digitally equipped for immediate impact.
