What is your response to frozen finance transformation budgets and expectations to cut operational costs? We face these COVID-19-imposed challenges and propose a sustainable, fast-track transformation plan to help you out of the crisis. ## Watch the Monthly Close Transformation webinar:                         ![Video Thumbnail](https://embed-ssl.wistia.com/deliveries/bd875f5815b70a9080fa86dfd2b1f853.webp?image_crop_resized=960x540)       Click for sound                     31:56                                 The system shock that 2020 has turned out to be as a result of COVID-19 has thrown everything into the air. Every plan, and forecast – out of the window. The [end of the month](https://aico.ai/the-most-advanced-financial-close-platform-for-enterprises-aico) and the end of Q1 became a crash course in closing remotely. Without preparation, without a trial run in a test environment, unprepared, straight into production with a do what it takes mentality. If your accounting team still tracks monthly close tasks via Excel file on a shared drive, this might be the last moment to transform your process to face the new post-COVID-19 reality.** **In this webinar we are discussing: - What are the risks of running your monthly close and audit the old way during and post COVID-19 imposed remote work conditions? - How monthly close transformation will lead to time and cost savings? - A two-step transformation plan to help your accounting team to close the books wherever and whenever with confidence.
