In this feature with Your Business Magazine, we share a perspective on tackling efficiency in finance transformation and why the traditional, process-heavy approach often misses the mark.
Too often we see transformation focusing on adding more, whether it be more tools, more layers, more complexity, when real efficiency comes from clarity, simplicity, and building finance functions that actually work.
Alongside the article, Tessa was asked to contribute an Expert View on a question that always sparks debate:
“Why you might be in trouble if your finance team are always going above and beyond.”
When teams are consistently going the extra mile, it’s often not just a sign of commitment, it’s a signal that something underneath isn’t quite working. Gaps in process, unclear structures, or ways of working that rely too heavily on individual effort.
This piece is about challenging that thinking and encouraging leaders to look beyond the surface. Read the full article here.

We’ll be exploring this in more detail at our upcoming Chickp. Roundtable, bringing together finance leaders to share practical insights, lessons learned, and what really makes ERP transformations succeed.
