Closing the Finance Efficiency Gap with AI & Automation

Leading Organisations Are Closing The 4.9% Finance Team Efficiency Gap by Leveraging Receivables Management Automation and AI to Optimize Working Capital

In this expert-led session, My DSO Manager — in collaboration with The Hackett Group — will present a compelling look at how modern finance teams are addressing rising workloads and resource constraints through intelligent automation, backed by insights from Hackett’s latest research:

1. The 4.9% Productivity Gap: Finance workloads are projected to rise by 4.1% while team resources decline by 0.8% — a critical imbalance that requires strategic action.
2. World-Class Automation Impact: Organisations classed as “Digital World Class” operate at automation rates of 98.84%, compared to just 64.52% in others — a key differentiator in cash flow and team effectiveness.
3. 2025 CFO Priorities: With CFOs focused on margin protection, operational efficiency, and cash optimisation, receivables leaders must now align their strategies accordingly.
