Finance Solutions
Partner to GrowThe US is entering the Fourth Industrial Revolution, with digitization and automation sweeping across the nation’s accounting functions. Industry leaders are taking bold moves, while industry followers struggle to keep up.
It’s an opportunity for your F&A team to be viewed as leaders, providing important performance and business partnering guidance to your organization. Your F&A team must earn the respect of their customer-facing peers with high performance accounting and insightful analysis from the best data possible.
Finance Strategy Execution
If you’re a market leader, you’ve made significant commitments: acquisitions, product development, and capital investment.
Once your strategy is launched, two important objectives must be achieved:
- Capture of planned value
- Execution within the planned timeline
Slippage on either factor creates profit leakage and introduces risk.
Finance Excellence
Technology is now a lever, instead of risk. The US has mature ERP systems, coupled with adjoining technologies that work well. SaaS software vendors have also matured. They are easier to install and typically function as advertised.
These technologies provide outstanding capabilities, but Finance organizations also need to reskill and upskill. The challenge to your Finance organization comes in two areas:
- Your team’s ability to consume and leverage these new capabilities
- The need to change data structures and processes to fully exploit the new software
Finance as Business Partners
Operational excellence positions Finance to be a strategic partner to the rest of the company. Your Finance team helps its customer-facing peers with their business challenges:
- Where can we gain market share?
- What’s the best strategy for a new acquisition?
- What drives margins across the business?
- What blockers must be removed to achieve our strategy?
While operational excellence creates additional capacity, upskilling, reskilling and recruiting new talent will position your Finance team for greater overall roles and success with the company.
