ABOUT KAREY ROBB

When it comes to Corporate Performance Management, I am (gulp) a veteran. I’ve dedicated my career to this space, worn many hats, and have had the unprecedented privilege of working closely with many hundreds of CFOs - getting to the heart of their myriad challenges and assisting with their collective mission to elevate their Office of Finance. One thing that’s impressed me deeply, is that despite the scale and nature of an organization, the pain points are universal. Whether you are the Controller at a large retail organization or the CFO for a small manufacturer, all finance leaders want to spend less time managing cumbersome, error-prone spreadsheet models and spend more time discovering actionable insights in their data. It’s startling to see how many enterprise organizations are still wrestling with Excel, considering it to be a necessary evil - they do not want to deploy complex solutions that will trade their autonomy for reliance on IT. Why is Prophix the answer? Because we deliver the best of both worlds. We systematically eliminate labour-intensive, error-prone spreadsheet use across finance and operations, improving reporting and analysis while simultaneously providing self-sufficient ownership by Finance and Operations with virtually no IT resource requirements. Our simple, unified solution makes rapid, real-time contingency planning easy, letting you run ‘what if’ scenarios and respond to changing market conditions. Ultimately, our software is a powerful analysis engine, letting you easily slice and dice data and generate stakeholder reports in an instant. Apart from simplifying life, our solution helps financial professionals all over the world shake off that bean-counting mantle and assume a more exciting, vision-setting role within the business.
