Is Finance The Weak Link in Biotech Innovation?
In small and mid-cap life sciences companies, finance teams are stuck in legacy accounting practices that stifle innovation. Bloated Excel sheets, convoluted explanations, and feedback loops that feel more like interrogations leave R&D teams frustrated and distracted. These outdated processes don’t just waste time—they erode the value of R&D itself. It’s time for non-finance leaders to demand streamlined, transparent tools that support growth, not block it.
As a result, the journey from lab to market hinges on the seamless integration of R&D with strategic financial oversight.
Below, we explore why CFOs – and stakeholders – must rethink their approach, replacing outdated methods with more modern and integrated solutions to protect and amplify R&D success.

Engage with them regularly to understand their needs, expectations, and feedback. This connection helps build trust and improve scientific quality which is highly appreciated by PAYERS.

Initiatives to Stay Connected with Stakeholders: Principle #3: Leverage Employee Talents for Collaboration and Innovation “Take full advantage of all the talents and energies of our people – the people reporting to us, staff groups, peers, agencies, whoever is involved in making our business succeed.” Your employees are your greatest asset.

Create an environment where employees feel valued and empowered to contribute their ideas and skills. Biopharmaceutical companies that can attract, engage and retain top talent gain a competitive advantage.

These strategies will not only help achieve long-term success but also foster a positive and innovative organisational culture. Start applying these principles and watch your organization thrive. The three principles concept were first described by Mr. John E. Pepper’s in 1981.
