Adapt or stay behind: how to lead and empower remote finance teams

The way we work has fundamentally changed. The global pandemic has transformed how finance teams operate and finance leaders are looking for the right tools and processes for the remote-first world. But where do you get started?

In this session, finance leaders from Kranz Consulting, Ramp and FloQast share their approach on all things team building, finance operations, and choosing the right software for remote teams.

Keys takeaways

  • The pandemic and remote work has changed the way we interact forever. Companies need to adopt new technologies and train their employees in order to keep up with the demands of a digital world.
  • With fully and partially remote teams, company-wide spending habits are changing. Finance teams are adapting to keep up by using real-time analytics and process automation tools like Ramp and FloQast.
  • Remote work allows companies to distribute talent across the country and world. It’s a great opportunity that requires a little initial investment in team building and company culture.

With Ramp, everything lives in one place. You can click into a vendor and see every transaction, invoice, and contract. That didn’t exist in Zip. It’s made approvals much faster because decision-makers aren’t chasing down information—they have it all at their fingertips.

The ability to create flexible parameters, such as allowing bookings up to 25% above market rate, has been really good for us. Plus, having all the information within the same platform is really valuable.

More vendors are allowing for discounts now, because they’re seeing the quick payment. That started with Ramp—getting everyone paid on time. We’ll get a 1-2% discount for paying early. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars, it does add up.

We’ve simplified our workflows while improving accuracy, and we are faster in closing with the help of automation. We could not have achieved this without the solutions Ramp brought to the table.

I was shocked at how easy it was to set up Ramp and get our end users to adopt it. Our prior procurement platform took six months to implement, and it was a lot of labor. Ramp was so easy it was almost scary.
