Facing economic headwinds and a persistently tight labor market, finance leaders are having an increasingly tough time hiring finance staff with specialized digital skills. According to Gartner, only 18% of finance staff demonstrate digital competency.

But it’s not due to a lack of interest. As a matter of fact, recent research from AvidXchange and the Institute of Finance and Management (IOFM) found that 94% of accounts payable (AP) professionals would use a tool to automate the most repetitive parts of their jobs. And 75% believe automation technology would have a positive long-term impact on their career.

Join consultants Rhonda Greene and Tyler Stubbs from AvidXchange to learn how savvy finance leaders are implementing mentoring and upskilling programs to help close the digital skills gap on their teams, increase efficiency and improve employee engagement.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the current state of the digital skills gap in the finance function 


• Determine how to plan and implement digital upskilling programs for AP pros 


• Recognize how reverse mentorship can help senior finance leaders advocate for their teams
