But first, you\u2019ll probably need to support your people as they learn the skills they need to actually use that tech with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professionals trained in automation and accounting analytics are in short supply right now. Translation: upskilling and retraining existing staff to master these new skills is an attractive option, not just for employers, but for employees too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your employees will welcome the opportunity to build their skill set, and supporting their professional development will only help you hold on to your most talented staff, saving you the time and money it takes to find and onboard a new hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Upskilling support is actually one of the main things people consider when thinking about whether to remain with their company or accept an offer elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><br>\nHave you heard of the CFO 4.0?
