77% of finance teams think they’re ahead.
Most of them are wrong.

Your competitors aren’t waiting for the perfect moment.

Global mandates are forcing the issue. Real-time payments are raising the bar. And AI is moving from pilot to live in finance operations worldwide. Yet most businesses are still running disconnected Invoice-to-Pay systems, manual reconciliation workarounds, and isolated automation. 

That’s not a small gap; it’s a compounding liability. Every invoice cycle that runs on a fragmented system is a cycle your competitors with integrated, intelligent workflows use to pull further ahead.

The question is not whether to transform — but how fast you can move.

What’s Inside: Four forces reshaping finance. One report.

• E-invoicing benchmarks: Where adoption stands globally, what’s driving it, and who’s already behind on compliance deadlines. 
• AI in finance—reality check: Only 9% use AI to improve decisions. Find out where it’s actually delivering, and where it’s just hype. 
• Cross-border complexity: 76% of respondents operate across multiple jurisdictions. See how the leaders manage it. 
• Payments modernization: Why 70% of teams still reconcile manually, and what end-to-end integration actually unlocks. 

If you run finance, this data is about your team.

Based on responses from 1,150 CFOs, VPs of Finance, and Controllers across the US, UK, France, Denmark, Australia, Singapore, and UAE, this isn’t analyst speculation. It’s what your peers are doing, struggling with, and planning next.

Used well, AI embeds intelligence across finance, supporting better judgment, stronger control, and a more agile response to change. Used poorly, it automates inefficiency.
