Financial reporting tells you what has already happened. Financial visibility tells you what is happening now, while there is still time to act.

For Indian mid-market companies, achieving these requires more than better dashboards. Spend data must be captured across expenses, travel, cards, wallets, and advances, enriched with the right context, and made available in real time.

The article also examines why fragmented systems and employee behaviour make financial visibility difficult to achieve, and how technology can help bridge the gap.
