CFOs face increased volatility from trade tensions, tariff uncertainty, and rapid supplier insolvency, forcing a move from quarterly to week-by-week planning. Short-termism is rising as leadership attention shifts to immediate risks, creating tension between urgent risk management and strategic growth planning. Technology and automation can provide stability by improving visibility and control, enabling data-driven decision making across supplier risk, credit underwriting, and collections. Integrated data solutions and AI applications can help manage supplier volatility and modernize finance operations, including addressing the persistence of paper checks.
