If you’re like most CFOs and Finance Directors, you’re always looking for ways to cut costs without disrupting workflows. But where do you start? How do you know what’s actually worth changing, and what’s just another overhyped trend?

We see it all the time—businesses unintentionally waste 3-5% of revenue on inefficient document management and manual processes, simply because they don’t have the right tools in place. The good news? There are quick wins to be had, and with the right partner, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Here’s how companies just like yours are cutting costs while improving financial control.

Cost-Saving Strategies:

  1. Stop letting hidden print costs drain your budget—Most businesses don’t realise they spend up to 30% more than necessary on print-related expenses. A Managed Print Service (MPS) streamlines this, reducing costs and increasing visibility.
  2. Eliminate costly human errors—Manual invoice processing is expensive and error-prone. Automating AP workflows can cut processing costs by 81% per invoice, freeing up finance teams for higher-value work.
  3. Stop paying for inefficiency—A paper-based workflow is costing you time and money. AI-powered document processing speeds up approvals by 50%, reducing bottlenecks and delays.
  4. Get real-time financial visibility—How much time do your teams spend manually pulling financial reports? Automating reporting can reduce labour costs by 40%, ensuring real-time insights with zero effort.
  5. Make compliance a non-issue—Non-compliance costs businesses an average of £11 million per year. AI-driven audit readiness ensures you meet regulatory requirements without last-minute scrambles.

Conclusion: The biggest mistake finance leaders make? Thinking that cost-cutting has to be painful. With the right tools and a trusted partner, you can streamline, simplify, and save—without the headaches.
