Deadlines are very important in Finance. There should be communication at all levels to ensure before hand what all the employees are working towards and when do they have to acheive it by.

If all is worked along according to plan then there will be no panic in the end. Complete as it arrives.

If there is not enough staff; then someone else should be trained to ensure there is cover when someone is not available.

If the system is down then there should be a backup plan where manually things can be authorised and processed which employees should be trained for before hand.

meeting deadlines with limited resources is as easy as 1,2,3. meaning, do not be contented with what you have in your hands now, consider those things around you, those people who are with your team and their creativity along with yours. avoid flying or reaching what your wings cant. treasure and make something perfect with what you have, what you gathered around, together with the ideas of your teammates and yours. Creativity plus teamwork; equals meeting the dealines with flying colors.  

Well, when you have limited resources, I would say split your time and make a deadline ahead of your actual deadline and spread the same to the employees as well. It is also important to make a time schedule to make things more systematic and save yourself from haphazardness. Majority of  us, wait for the deadline, which can actually delay your work and specially, when you have limited resources. So,what you have to do is to pull all your resources to make it happen. To make the best use of the available resources and when you have the dedication to finish the work, no matter what, you will mange to do it on time.
