Finance leaders are the commercial conscience of every major technology investment.
They shape how budgets flow, how risk is assessed, and ultimately, which projects are greenlit.
But winning their confidence takes more than ROI claims. It demands evidence, transparency, and credibility at every stage of the buying journey.
This infographic breaks down how Finance teams think, decide, and validate — revealing the triggers that turn scrutiny into support.
Inside Anatomy of a Lead: Finance Teams, you’ll uncover:
9 Stages of Influence: from identifying need to measuring post-deployment ROI
Finance Personas Explained: FP&A leaders, Controllers, and Transformation Managers — who they are, and how to reach them
Information Needs by Stage: what Finance teams look for at each point, from cost model comparisons to quarterly value reviews
Messaging Guidance: when to use rational data, when to lead with emotive stories, and how to build confidence without overclaiming
Engagement Cues: the moments when Finance’s influence peaks, and how to involve them early to reduce deal friction later
Each insight helps sales and marketing teams design content and conversations that align perfectly with Finance’s mindset.
Finance’s role in enterprise buying has never been stronger.
79% of CFOs now hold final decision authority on tech investments.
65% feel pressure to accelerate ROI and demonstrate measurable value.
If your campaigns don’t address their priorities — efficiency, compliance, and value realisation — you’re missing the most influential voice in the deal.
This guide helps you connect commercial logic with strategic storytelling — building trust that drives approvals and accelerates sales momentum.
