Future of finance

To accelerate your transformation journey, it’s important to get the full picture of the costs and time spent on your finance processes. We can help you compare your cost and performance metrics against leading companies to see where you have opportunities to create a more efficient and effective finance function. 

Some companies’ finance functions find themselves dedicating significant resources to low-value tasks, many of which can be automated. But automation can’t fix broken processes, which often requires you to focus on simplifying them first. We can help you identify the right opportunities for simplifying and automating processes so you can fund change and investment across the finance function and free up resources for insights-focused activities. We also offer a range of outsourcing and co-sourcing solutions that help you accelerate automation and find efficiencies while also giving you access to our subject matter expertise.

Every day spent closing the books is one day less spent on analysis. We’ll help you standardize and automate the close management process while reducing effort through new risk-based policies. We also offer leading-edge solutions to tax, reporting, controls and other areas of compliance that will further accelerate your close.

Finance functions often find themselves tasked with creating a large volume of financial reporting that requires significant data manipulation and manual work and focuses more on the past than what’s happening now. We’ll help you rationalize your financial reporting and create a delivery model that lets your finance teams quickly pull data from the right sources so you can lead the business in planning for the future.

Increasing constraints on capital are making it more challenging for organizations to make key investment and planning decisions. By enhancing governance, processes and tools, organizations can improve planning for capital and workforce investments. This will help the organization maximize available working capital for its top priorities and support its strategic focus.

To see the full financial picture and accurately plan for the future, it’s important to streamline data collection, aggregation and analysis practices. Leading tools are available to automate many planning, budgeting and forecasting tasks, including consolidation of bottom-up budget and forecast plans. We can help you restructure roles and responsibilities to improve planning and consolidation and, ultimately, better align budgeting and forecasting processes with your organization’s strategic direction.

To build leadership support for critical investments in transformation, you need to rethink how your finance function delivers services. It all starts with looking at the operating model to assess which finance services the organization needs most and the best ways to structure the finance function to deliver them. We can help you develop a road map for change that delivers the outcomes the business expects.

In a changing business climate, many small- and medium-size business owners are looking to better understand and manage key areas of finance, including cash flow, key performance indicators, accounts payable and day-to-day accounting. More than ever, they need quality insights into how they can grow the business. A virtual outsourced accounting solution can help you refocus efforts on what matters most and translate your accounting data into powerful insights that can shape your future.
