That gives us more time to analyze the numbers rather than just prepare them. And with the IBM software, we can be more confident that the numbers we’re looking at are right.

As a financial director, you need to be able to rely on the numbers being accurate. You need to know that there’s a robust process that means the numbers reported are correct. With no unknowns in our applications, I can sleep at night.
