How Covid changed the role of the finance director forever

By Tim Adler

Covid has accelerated the trend for the finance director to become more of a strategic adviser, assuming much of what used to be the COO role. However, to do that they need to summon up accurate, real-time financial data kept in the Cloud.

Tim Adler discusses the impact of Covid on the way a finance director works. He also takes a look at what Covid has done to the available talent pool for finance teams in the UK, as well as giving a brief history of accounting technology.
