Finance and Performance Management
The Finance function must continuously adapt to the changing environment, in today’s climate of economic recession, more than ever, the focus is on cash, cash and cash.
Finance is under pressure to provide more information to support business decisions but much quicker than ever before. Through a series of solutions we can help transform the Finance Function from being a reactive data providing support function to a true proactive partner to the business, providing greater clarity, focus and speed than ever before.
- Strategy: Our strategist will help develop the vision for the Finance Function, and develop that vision into a Finance Strategy. This provides not just a clear set of goals but also a direction for the team to buy into and drive towards, and an enhancement of decision making and analysis
- Service Improvement: Our solutions support the CFO with the planning and implementation of core back-office services, helping to increase operating efficiencies, improve services, streamline processes and drive cost reductions
- Technology Optimisation: Our clients have implemented enterprise-wide systems and are attempting to maximise their investments, through automation, organisational change and process change, in enabling technologies including Oracle and SAP to help them achieve “excellence”
- Shared Services and BPO: Our solutions support a client whether the organisation wishes to build an internal shared services centre with no view to outsource, or to outsource as a second step, or to move directly to an outsourcing model. We provide independent expertise, guidance and support to assist in the decision making, design the future model and transition as necessary
- Cost Improvement: Buyers and suppliers can realise considerable value through transformation of their core business processes such as invoice processing and vendor payment, customer invoicing and collections. Organisations that invest in streamlining their processes dramatically increase their operational efficiency. We help our clients to look beyond the traditional finance transaction boundaries to deliver further benefits through end-to end-process connectivity, standardisation and automation, assisting them on the journey to excellence
- Enterprise Performance Management: Our Integrated Performance Management methodology focuses on reporting, often using a balanced scorecard approach, strategic planning, strategic cost management and business modelling to identify any “pain point” within business operations, whilst managing overall risk. We guarantee to provide a culture that unites the business around its core objectives.
- Risk Management: With organisations collapsing more frequently than ever before, the focus on managing risk, for the CFO, and for the business is significant. Our lean six sigma aligned approach looks at each area of the organisation, and summarises the key risks, failure modes and control deficiencies. Following the discovery, we then provide implementation support on a complete risk reward basis.
