Finance Teams Still Stuck in Spreadsheets 📊 New research from bluQube reveals that, despite years of digital transformation efforts, 40% of finance teams still manage up to half of their data manually — with more than a quarter relying on spreadsheets for the majority of their financial operations. This dependency is slowing decision-making, creating risk, and preventing finance leaders from focusing on strategic analysis and growth. As Simon Kearsley, CEO of BluQube, explains: “Too much time is still being spent reconciling spreadsheets rather than generating insights that drive growth.” The message is clear — automation in finance is no longer optional. 👉 Read the full story: https://zurl.co/IAvcJ #FinanceTransformation #Automation #Accounting #DigitalTransformation #CFO #FinTech #DataManagement

A mid-market enterprise spent 18 months and multiple six-figure licenses building its own finance automation stack. On paper, it worked: invoices were captured, approvals routed, reconciliations logged. In production, it fell apart. → Month-end closes lagged by weeks because vendor names didn’t match between systems. → Three-way matches broke when formats changed. → Variance reports went stale before they reached review. The finance team ended up exactly where they started ➜ manually stitching spreadsheets and PDFs just to keep control. They replaced the entire setup with Dost. From first demo to full deployment: six weeks. The system handled thousands of documents across entities, automatically reconciled outliers, and delivered live financial insights that auditors could trace end-to-end. What we’re seeing now is a clear shift: AI-native finance automation is no longer a prototype phase. Companies switch the moment they see a system that holds up under real accounting pressure, not just a demo environment.
