How does your finance organization compare with top performers — and how is AI changing the benchmarks that define excellence?

 

Traditional measures remain critical for identifying performance gaps and setting realistic targets. But AI is raising the bar for efficiency and effectiveness — while introducing new measures for evaluating adoption, productivity and business impact. The differences are striking: top performers are 3x more efficient in staffing and operate at 30-60% lower costs.

 

Join Grant Thornton and Auxis finance transformation leaders for a practical look at how finance benchmarking is evolving — and where AI, operating model improvements and other transformation levers can drive better results.

 

You’ll discover:

  • Which metrics matter most for evaluating finance overall and by function
  • How AI is reshaping finance benchmarking — and new metrics to consider
  • How your organization compares with top performers across AP, AR and General Accounting, using benchmarks from respected authorities like APQC
  • The “right” performance level to target based on your organization and operating environment
  • How to uncover the root causes behind performance gaps — and prioritize improvement opportunities 
  • The finance use cases where AI and automation can deliver the greatest impact
