Transforming finance functions

Many businesses are so successful at growing quickly that their finance functions find it difficult to keep pace.  Management information is barely adequate and often slow.  Systems are not constructed to support the business and the finance function may lack the necessary quality and strength in depth to make any meaningful contribution to business development.

Chief Executives and investors can see the symptoms and are aware of the need to invest in the finance function – but often lack the skill-sets and experience to fix it themselves.

Our finance professionals bring their experience to bear to work with chief executives and investors to build first class finance functions quickly.

This work often involves 4 stages:

State of the nation

An initial assessment of the status quo involving an honest appraisal of the people, the systems, the quality of current output and, crucially, what is missing – particularly with regards to management information in support of the business.

Road-map

Presenting a plan for the Chief Executive that outlines the road map to attaining a first class finance function – within sensible timelines and measurable milestones.

We’re in this together

We take on executive responsibility for delivering the development plan and provide ongoing support to the management team in its hour of need.  This phase is never easy.

Moving forward

Hand over the keys to the new team – following an intense period including recruitment, people development, coaching, systems enhancement and implementation.
