Rita Mistry, the Director of Industry and Solution Strategy for Infor SunSystems. In a candid and insightful conversation, Rita shares her unique journey from a "stereotypical accountant" to a leading technology strategist.
As the accounting world faces a generational shift, Rita discusses how automation and digitalization are reshaping the role of finance professionals. She explores why the old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality is fading and how modern finance teams are demanding information at their fingertips.
Key topics discussed:
- The Career Pivot: How Rita transitioned from traditional accounting to becoming a systems expert and eventually driving strategy for Infor SunSystems.
- Industry Trends: The move towards "continuous close" and why real-time integration is often more critical than real-time reporting.
- The Human Side of Tech: Why soft skills like honesty and respect are just as vital as technical know-how in building a successful career.
- Personal Insights: Rita opens up about her perfectionism, her love for travel (including a memorable motorbike food tour in Vietnam!), and the advice she would give her younger self.
Whether you are a finance professional navigating digital transformation or someone looking to pivot their career, this episode offers valuable lessons on growth, adaptation, and finding success on your own terms.
