Research on the ability improvement strategy of enterprise financial personnel under the background of digital transformation

Abstract

Abstract In the context of digital transformation, China’s digital economy has achieved rapid development, imposing increasingly stringent requirements on the professional competencies of corporate financial personnel. This paper examines the era’s backdrop by first elucidating the concept and core characteristics of digital transformation. It then analyzes the necessity for financial professionals to enhance their capabilities from three perspectives: national macro-level requirements, practical enterprise needs, and personal growth objectives. The study identifies current challenges faced by financial staff, including inadequate skill alignment, ambiguous career role positioning, delayed knowledge structure updates, and insufficient integration of job functions. Subsequently, it delves into the root causes behind these issues. Finally, targeted strategies are proposed to drive skill upgrading, clarify career development pathways, expand job cognition frameworks, bridge intergenerational knowledge gaps, establish multi-stakeholder collaboration systems, deepen digital literacy, and optimize knowledge architecture to strengthen business-finance integration capabilities. These measures aim to empower financial personnel to adapt to contemporary demands and achieve mutual success for both individuals and enterprises.
