The Systems and Technology Service will guide and advise on how to apply technology and utilise systems to enable finance transformation and deliver an effective output from the finance function.

Typical areas where value is realised include:

– Fast access to reliable data to enable front-line decision making

– Improved Forecasting / Predictive Insights / Budgeting

– Quality, speed and savings from optimisation and automation of finance processes

– Rapid adoption of new technologies

– Becoming true business partner(s) to CEO and across the business

– Best in class cost and service efficiency

– Compliance and data quality is right first time, on time, every time

– Enhanced ability to drive financial returns, cashflow and sustainability

Pains typically relieved include:

– Finance function under a lot of pressure from operational tasks

– Inefficient or non-standard processes

– Unable to maintain steady cash flow and control costs

– Contentious stakeholder relations and/or lack of board confidence absorb excessive amounts of direct personal time

– Arguing over data quality instead of supporting data driven decisions

– Unable to produce accurate timely reports

– Lack of the right resource for projects to improve performance

The Finance Transformation Services enable Finance to sustain and grow the business with enhanced value add and more effective and efficient future proof processes and systems.

Project based engagements operate on the basis of agreeing work and any outcomes or milestones for delivery in advance of commencement of any engagement in a ‘Statement of Work’.
