As businesses enter 2025, CFOs are expected to lead beyond finance, driving digital transformation, AI integration, and operational efficiency while navigating economic uncertainty, regulatory changes, and evolving business models.
At Stratus Consulting Group, we help CFOs future-proof their finance operations by implementing ERP solutions like MYOB Acumatica, Wiise, and Epicor—enabling automation, real-time insights, and data-driven decision-making. Here’s what CFOs need to prioritise in 2025 to stay ahead.
The pace of digital finance transformation will accelerate in 2025, and businesses that haven’t fully automated financial processes will struggle to compete. In 2024, many CFOs initiated finance transformation, but execution gaps remain.
✅ Move to fully integrated cloud ERP solutions to eliminate manual reporting and disconnected data.
✅ Standardise and automate financial workflows to reduce inefficiencies and improve accuracy.
✅ Use AI-driven analytics for smarter forecasting and real-time decision-making.
📌 How Stratus Group’s ERP Solutions Help:
CFOs in 2025 must move beyond financial management to become strategic growth enablers. This means aligning finance operations with broader business goals, optimising capital allocation, and supporting expansion initiatives.
✅ Develop dynamic financial strategies that support long-term growth, not just cost control.
✅ Use AI-powered analytics to identify high-margin business opportunities.
✅ Ensure finance is embedded in digital transformation projects across the organisation.
📌 How Stratus Group’s ERP Solutions Help:

✅ Use AI-powered compliance tools to track evolving regulatory requirements.
✅ Ensure ERP systems can manage carbon footprint reporting and sustainability metrics.
