Our Approach to Finance Function Excellence
- Finance Vision and Strategy. We align the finance function targets and roadmap with future business needs. This entails defining a North Star and fundamentally rethinking finance strategy, organization, processes, technology, and people. Our CFO Excellence services include setting the agenda for incoming CFOs and guiding them on best practices and cutting-edge finance trends. Additionally, our finance function consulting team helps CFOs become chief performance officers, driving greater profitability in response to today's volatile business environment.
- Finance Operating Model and Organization. We transform the finance function operating model to drive greater efficiency and effectiveness. This includes reshaping the talent strategy and organization structure, location and sourcing model, and ways of working. We support finance cost transformations by implementing actions that realize durable savings and ensure finance functions can increase focus on higher value-add activities. In post-merger management, we apply this approach to realize significant synergies and value-creation opportunities.
- Digitization in Finance. The transition of the CFOs' role impacts their use of digital, moving from optimizing core functionality to supporting value creation in the business. To support this shift, we help define a robust digital strategy, including the use of generative AI and the next generation ERP strategy. We help our clients create their technology roadmap; identify advanced digital use cases; develop pilots and scaling them rapidly; and support them through the detailed design and implementation of new digital capabilities, such as financial planning and forecasting tools.
- Financial Steering Excellence. We leverage AI and advanced analytics to help build world-class capabilities in performance steering—including revamping the budgeting and forecasting processes through automated, driver-based planning and enhanced decision support with next-generation business intelligence.
