How tax and finance are evolving to support business and talent

Episode notes

In this episode of the Better Finance podcast, host Myles Corson , Victor Casalino , Americas VP and CFO at Microsoft and Dave Helmer , EY Global Tax and Finance Operate Leader, discuss changes potentially impacting tax and finance today. Results from the EY 2022 Tax and Finance Operations Survey indicate that, of the 1,700 companies across 45 countries that responded, 85% are scrutinizing their existing finance and tax operating models for issues that can potentially weaken their future impact. Many are finding it necessary to make dramatic adjustments in some key operational areas to keep pace with our evolving post-pandemic workplace. Talent: Businesses are experiencing a short supply of finance and tax talent internally, particularly those with transformational skills in technology — e.g., AI, machine learning, data modeling — all of which can help drive speed and quality. Legislative and regulatory changes: Dramatic changes globally sent companies scurrying to find skilled resources to identify and interpret myriad changes and make required adjustments within their company.
