As organizations grow, finance teams are expected to manage increasing transaction volumes, expanding business complexity, and stricter control requirements, without adding headcount or extending the financial close. Success depends on building a scalable, automated Record-to-Report process rather than simply adding more tools. 

In this interactive workshop, Redwood will share a practical approach for identifying manual work, process bottlenecks, and automation opportunities across the R2R lifecycle, helping participants uncover where they can streamline execution and strengthen SAP-enabled finance operations. 

You'll also hear from Jabil as they share how they built an automation and control layer on top of SAP for journal entries, close task management, and balance sheet certification. By automating nearly 3,000 journal entries each month and recovering approximately 45,000 hours annually, the company has streamlined the close while supporting significant business growth with minimal expansion of its finance automation team. 

Attendees will leave with:

• A clearer view of what modern, scalable R2R execution looks like
• Practical ideas for identifying high-value automation opportunities
• Lessons from Jabil's finance automation journey
• A better understanding of how to move beyond isolated tools toward coordinated, SAP-connected R2R automation
