FINANCIAL CHALLENGES
We help finance executives to achieve step-change improvements to financial planning, budgeting, forecasting and performance management processes. More specifically, we help those in global manufacturers to:
-
-
- Resolve critical capability gaps in these processes
- Reduce the cost of these processes by as much as 50%
- Self-fund the investment in these processes
- Improve profits by up to 5% of sales
-
These improvement opportunities exist because traditional finance management processes and software (eg. planning, budgeting, forecasting & measurement) have critical capability gaps that prevent global manufacturers from effectively managing complexity. As a result, they don’t support meaningful improvement to:
-
-
- Rolling forecasts
- Scenario planning
- Cash flow forecasting
- Working capital management
- Cost and profitability management
- Integrated Financial / Business Planning
-
Our solution recognizes one reality: these financial challenges are highly interconnected with strategic and operational (View) ones. We resolve them by providing incremental capabilities that support mature forms of strategic, financial and operational integration. Further details outlining our perspectives can be found in the following three articles, along with the video provided below about Integrated Business Planning (IBP) / Integrated Financial Planning (IFP) in Finance.
