In this special solo episode of the CFO 4.0 Podcast, host Hannah Munro takes on a personal challenge what she would do with 90 days to transform finance. Drawing on her experience working with finance teams, Hannah breaks the journey into three clear phases: stabilisation, automation and efficiency, and forward looking acceleration.
You’ll discover practical, actionable steps you can apply in your own finance function, including
- How to stabilise core processes in the first 30 days, including bank reconciliations, AR, AP, cash collection, reporting structures, and balance sheet checks
- Why automation and efficiency in the next 30 days should focus on AP automation, AR solutions, payment processes, chart of accounts redesign, and month end optimisation
- How to approach the final 30 days with a forward looking mindset, including forecasting, budgets, dashboards, and integrating wider business data
- The importance of KPIs for measuring effectiveness across AR, AP, bank rec, and reporting
- How to set realistic timelines for transformation without overwhelming your team
- Why process mapping, controls, and risk management are essential foundations before scaling
