About the Virtual Event:

A recent survey1 by Aberdeen highlighted a general lack of standardised finance policies among businesses as a result of the proliferation of remote working. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in particular find themselves in a delicate situation as they try to adapt to new working norms.

As SMBs search for ways to shore up their finances during this pandemic, how can they find the best balance between controlling spending and making strategic investments to sustain the business?
