In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. But if you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner, and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top. 🗻 What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level. The higher you go, the more your effectiveness depends on how you connect, adapt, and communicate.

Everything comes at a cost. Companies must charge for the materials and services they use to create the final product, plus a little extra to ensure a return on investment of raw goods. In the B2B world, this is known as the procure-to-pay process. Table of Contents What is Procure-to-Pay? The procure-to-pay (also known as purchase-to-pay or P2P) process is the cycle in which businesses inquire, request, receive, and then pay for raw goods and services.

The most overlooked, yet most critical, element of transformation is preparing people for change. Automation and AI aren't just technical upgrades, they’re cultural shifts which can challenge identities. That’s why change management isn’t a side project—it’s the foundation.

FinOps vs. GreenOps vs. Sustainability Since FinOps started gaining traction in the larger cloud technology community, we’ve seen an increase in the use of the term ‘GreenOps’ as well. For a lot of organisations, the goal of FinOps is reasonably clear, while GreenOps tends to just be ‘FinOps, but for sustainability’. We think there is more to the story than just that.
