Executive Summary:

The people of the Office of the CFO have experienced a perfect storm of business changes, tariffs, regulatory shift in different geographies, uncertainties around the use of AI, geopolitics, and disruptive technology. These forces could overwhelm finance teams struggling with legacy processes and methods. Yet the same people are expected to progressively improve their planning, analysis, consolidation and reporting, and data quality.

EPM helps Finance meet the moment. To meet their imperative to lead strategically through chaotic conditions over the next decade or more, they need faster finance operations and the most reliable, complete data possible. That implies the automation and unification of data that an enterprise performance management (EPM) system can make available. Modernization via EPM can bring all finance workflows under one roof (one UX, one data foundation). It also enables more flexible, accurate planning, quicker reforecasting, and much faster closings.

Executive Summary

Get insight into finance teams’ key challenges and priorities across several topics such as navigating the economy, people management, organizational processes and technology.

These days we’re all reminded that the only certainty is continuing uncertainty. As a result, finance teams have become more integral to their business than ever, generating accurate forecasts and profitability reports more frequently than in the past, to help stakeholders and leaders make the right calls. To step up to this challenge, finance teams are breaking out of the confines of their departments, growing and upskilling their teams, and embracing new technologies–but with room for improvement. In partnership with BPM Partners, Vena surveyed 218 finance leaders to uncover what’s driving their strategic planning in 2025.
