“The CFO of a company asked us to assess the finance operations of the company to identify opportunities to improve efficiency and effectiveness. To do so, we administered a digital activity analysis and conducted interviews aimed at identifying areas where the company had responses that were different when compared to peer companies. Based on the comparison to benchmarking data and leading practice, we identified a list of opportunities to improve their finance strategy going forward.”
Why Does Finance Transformation Matter?
- 68% of CFOs are investing in digital transformation over the next 12 months, including in technologies like cloud and analytics.
- Leading finance organizations are investing more in finance upskilling and reskilling. The top quartile of companies spent at least three times more ($2,747 per Finance employee) in upskilling programs than the median ($907 per Finance employee).
- By pairing macro investments in technology infrastructure with citizen-led innovation, companies equip their Finance professionals to create efficiency through automation. This allows for less time spent gathering, collecting and verifying data and more time analyzing it. For the top quartile of companies, the share of total time spent analyzing data has increased from 47% in 2013 to 73% in 2021.
Hear from former interns on their experience in Finance Transformation
“When I was an intern, I felt strongly supported by my FT team members, who were more than willing to invest their time in my development. Whether I needed help navigating the firm's culture or client related work, they went above and beyond to make sure I had a successful internship. Having this experience made me at ease when I returned to work full-time since I had already built many connections that welcomed me back to PwC!”
- Bianca Hill, Dallas, University of Texas - Austin
"My experience as a Finance Transformation (FT) intern has enabled me to establish long lasting relationships with colleagues and leaders in the firm. Additionally, I was able to gain an intimate understanding of PwC’s culture and many “ways of working.” Finally, and most importantly, the FT internship helped to increase the confidence I have in myself and my abilities, which continues to shape my brand to this day."
- Alex Sterling, University of Wisconsin-Madison
“I feel fortunate to have found a talented group of individuals who are both incredibly driven and deeply care. The people I work with are driven both to solve our client's most complex finance challenges, as well as to be (and help develop) strong leaders. Perhaps foundational to everyone I've interacted with is the deep sense of care I've experienced, first and foremost as an individual and secondly as a finance practitioner. These attributes have a strong footing in our culture and truly excite me for the future.”
- Brandon Bencko, Chicago, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
“Finance Transformation gives me an avenue to explore my passions alongside my client work. I’ve had the opportunity to mentor and onboard new joiners, organize fundraisers for local nonprofits, and gain exposure to PwC’s client delivery lifecycle. Without a doubt, the friendships I’ve made through these opportunities helped make my transition from college to PwC even easier.”
- Kara Benerofe, New York, Northeastern University
