Get the 2026 Future of Finance Report
As the business scales, are your finance systems built to scale with it?
Benchmark your finance organization against 2,000 finance leaders, including hyper-performers: leaders at multi-entity businesses reporting the strongest year-over-year revenue growth.
Inside the report, you’ll get access to:
- Where fragmented systems slow decisions — and how hyper-performers compare on one trusted view of the business.
- How much manual work still sits between finance and strategy — and how hyper-performers compare on trackers, spreadsheets, and reporting workarounds.
- Where delayed visibility can narrow the window for the business’s next move — and how hyper-performers compare on same-day data and earlier signals.
- How finance teams are approaching AI readiness — and how hyper-performers compare on functional AI use in finance workflows.
- CFO action lenses to help pressure-test where finance friction is showing up in your own workflows.

About this research
The 2026 Future of Finance report is based on an Intuit-commissioned online survey conducted in May 2026 that gathered insights from 2,000 CFOs, controllers, and VPs of Finance at US businesses with over $2.5 million in annual revenue. The survey explored how finance leaders are managing data fragmentation, manual work, visibility gaps, confidence in financial insights, strategic capacity, and AI adoption in finance workflows.
The robust sample included 1,200 respondents from multi-entity businesses, enabling comparison between hyper-performers and steady operators. Hyper-performers are multi-entity respondents reporting strong year-over-year revenue growth, while steady operators are all other multi-entity respondents.
See how finance teams at hyper-performing businesses manage data, visibility, and finance workflows differently.
