The Next Era of Finance Transformation

Finance functions are entering a defining moment. Cost efficiency is no longer the headline; transformation now hinges on agentic and autonomous automation, end-to-end process ownership, data-driven decision-making, and the expanding role of finance as a value partner within global business services models. Drawing on insights from SSON Research & Analytics’ 2026 State of the Shared Services & Outsourcing Industry Study, this webinar explores how leading organizations are redefining finance transformation for the year ahead.

Join us as we unpack the key trends shaping Record-to-Report, Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay, and broader finance service delivery. The session will examine shifts in operating models, pricing and chargeback mechanisms, the move toward agentic and AI-enabled workflows, governance, and the capabilities finance teams must build to transition from transactional execution to higher-value, insight-driven work.

Designed for finance, GBS, and transformation leaders, this session will provide practical benchmarks and directional insight to help you assess where your finance function stands today, and what it will take to remain competitive, autonomous, and value-focused in 2026 and beyond.
