Repetitive finance work is draining your profits, people, and potential.
How much money is burnout burning through?
It’s no small sum. According to finance leaders, repetitive work costs UK firms £179 billion in lost productivity, and in the US, that number skyrockets to $1.4 trillion.
You need to pay attention to this.
No, seriously. Pay attention.
When performing mundane and repetitive tasks, finance professionals reported they can only maintain focus for 41 minutes before their attention drifts. At Medius, our analysis shows that the average finance professional spends more than 3.5 hours a day on repetitive tasks that could be automated. That’s more than 23 work weeks a year!
Here’s what “brain fade” looks
like in a business.
“Errors creep in, processes slow, and employees burn out. Automation is no longer just about efficiency—it’s about protecting profits.”

CFO at Medius
