Finance leaders today have two shortages they’re constantly required to contend with: TALENT and TIME. Scarcity and churn among qualified accounting professionals only serve to compound the overwhelming sense among CFOs and financial leadership that too much of their time is spent on transactional tasks while strategic initiatives are left to languish. In fact, according to Personiv’s 2019 Finance and Accounting Talent Market Outlook: An F&A Leadership Survey, 88 percent of CFOs wish they had more time for strategic tasks.

That can turn into a frustrating feedback loop that too often slows potential growth and stalls profit gains. In this worksheet, you'll discover:

How to determine which tasks to outsource and what to keep in-house
How to use the process-strategy matrix to work through core competencies
Why finance leaders turn to outsourcing as a solution
