Esker, a leader in AI automation for the Office of the CFO, has announced a strategic collaboration with PwC Poland’s Finance Transformation team to deliver comprehensive financial transformation solutions for customers in Poland and across the EMEA region.\n\nThe collaboration provides integrated services that align PwC Poland’s strategic consulting expertise with Esker’s AI-powered solutions. This structure aims to deliver measurable outcomes by aligning automation technology and strategy, efficiently bridging the disconnect that often exists between software solutions and advisory services. By working together, the companies intend to improve agility, reduce complexity, and support clients’ long-term growth in a dynamic market. Additionally, PwC Poland contributes in-depth expertise and a business user perspective in structuring and optimizing Global Business Services (GBS) centers.\n\nAleksandra Stelmach-Gryszka, Partner at PwC Poland, stated, “One of our main motivations is to provide an end-to-end approach that addresses both process and technology needs. By taking a holistic approach, we enhance the value we bring to clients while positioning ourselves to evolve alongside their changing needs. At the same time, we recognize the ongoing challenge of staying ahead in a fast-paced market, which demands agility and continuous innovation.”\n\nThe cooperation supports the evolving role of today’s CFO, who now operates within the broader framework of the Office of the CFO. This new structure encompasses all departments and functions that contribute to shaping finance-driven business outcomes, made possible by implementing fully integrated business solutions.\n\nPiotr Kocot, Partner at PwC Poland, commented, “Finance constitutes the core priority. But as the CFO’s role expands, nearly every department becomes part of this mission by contributing to the company’s strategic vision and long-term direction. What was once a singular function is now an interconnected network of roles and responsibilities driving finance-led outcomes. Our collaboration with Esker is designed to support this broader perspective by aligning technology and process design with strategic goals.”\n\nEsker Synergy AI automates core finance functions such as invoice processing, order management, and procurement. This automation is designed to reduce manual effort, improve data accuracy, and provide greater visibility into financial workflows. By leveraging AI, finance teams are empowered to make faster, more informed decisions and shift their focus to strategic initiatives.\n\nPatrick Bley, Head of Alliances at Esker Germany, noted, “AI is a key component in helping Finance departments operate with greater efficiency and deeper insights. Through our Esker Alliance program, we collaborate closely with partners like PwC to bring these benefits to businesses navigating digital transformation.”\n\nPwC Poland is a professional services firm and a member of the global PwC network, which spans 149 countries and employs over 370,000 professionals.
