Finance Transformation

Finance Transformation.

Finance as a strategic partner is not a utopia; with the right approach, it becomes a reality. A modern finance function adds structural value to the business. We help CFOs step by step in renewing the operating model, optimizing costs, and strengthening their financial steering power.

Efficiency and effectiveness are not a trade-off

Through a combined approach of hands-on methods and change management, we ensure that Finance becomes agile, future-proof and impactful. With visible results, supported by the organization.

Methodology

1. Finance &
Function Assessment

We see many different finance departments. Some more innovative than others, due to a wide range of causes. While one environment is not the other, it helps to be confronted with an inside look at someone else's.

Using a structured approach, we take our clients through external perspectives. We examine different perspectives: how do clients evaluate the finance department? How do our own employees experience this department? And how do we perform compared to similar companies?"




2. Target Operating
Model

The organizational structure of the finance department is often based on a strategy and vision aligned with the broader organization. In practice, an organization's direction is regularly adjusted. Does this affect the structure of the finance department?

Several situations are conceivable in which a reassessment or optimization of the organizational structure of the finance department is needed. Think of an ERP implementation, a merger, cost reduction or geographical merger to improve quality. We support the entire process, from shaping the strategy and preparing the high-level design to actually implementing the change.

3. Process cost optimization

Getting a grip on costs often starts with the structured mapping of activities. We use a Finance Taxonomy for this purpose. This catalog of activities provides clear insight into the dividing line between departments (where does finance start versus procurement?) and stimulates thinking in end-to-end optimization. After all, optimization within individual silos rarely leads to the best result for the entire organization.

We share best practices from the field and industry to jointly arrive at an optimal design and corresponding cost level. This is summarized in a structured business case.
