That said, recent tech changes have accelerated the adoption of the finance stack, and the image of a finance department working through stacks of paper is one from yesteryear.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Yes, finance is pushing the envelope when adopting new, innovative technology. One only needs to look at the financial technology (fintech) market to understand how much tech adoption is happening in finance departments nationwide. One out of every five investment dollars from venture capitalists is going to fintech funding, and even with investment slowing down due to the economic downturn, there is little doubt about its continued growth.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">What&#8217;s spurring adoption from a team that has typically been slow to do so? Over the last decade, three things have happened that have turned finance teams upside down:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Digital Transformation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> Globalization<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"none\"> The &#8220;death&#8221; of the spreadsheet<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Those three trends have created a need for the finance engineer, who, like other emerging ops roles, must understand the high-level systems architecture across the company and the appropriate links to their systems to provide helpful, structured data. Ultimately, it becomes the responsibility of financial engineers to intricately understand the finance tech stack and create business processes that drive the intended results for the business.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Digital Transformation Drives New Revenue Models and Business Complexity<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The evolution of digital technologies has had an impact on every business. Those who couldn&#8217;t ride the wave and embrace digital are no longer here.

Finance must be smart on compliance and labor regulations wherever they do business. They must understand hiring and compensation laws; for bigger companies, that means layer upon layer of compensation plans. For some, it means thousands of compensation plans that are being managed globally.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Unbundling of Spreadsheets<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The flexibility of the spreadsheet has allowed finance teams to tackle various projects quickly in a highly custom way. While some business processes shifted away from spreadsheets quickly (CRM and ERP solutions come to mind), other platforms have taken longer to provide the flexibility and auditability necessary to overcome a finance team&#8217;s purpose-built model. However, after decades of slow growth, it&#8217;s official: spreadsheet usage for business processes is declining.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">We&#8217;ve reached the post-spreadsheet era, where finance teams can increasingly move beyond spreadsheets, which can no longer provide the scalability, auditability, and advanced automation that cloud-based software offers. Success in this new world involves understanding why spreadsheets have been so successful\u2014arguably the most critical technology ever developed\u2014and how to build on those strengths with today&#8217;s technology. It means extending the computational power of spreadsheets to work with big data sets and leveraging finance data effectively to make decisions that impact the business today and in the future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">It also involves thinking like an engineer to address the challenges of digital transformation and globalization and helping the modern business drive success.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Role of the Finance Engineer in Driving Future Growth<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Finance professionals need to become proficient in the post-spreadsheet era to build solutions that scale in line with the rest of their company&#8217;s connected systems.
