Technology-Enabled Transformation

Financial Planning & Analysis Transformation

Promote cross-functional business intelligence and performance

As CFOs gain greater insight into and responsibility for key business drivers impacting the financial health of the company, they require a more refined FP&A process architecture and technology infrastructure. We build full-lifecycle FP&A systems that transform data management, reporting, and analytics while enabling CFOs and their teams to engage the rest of the organization to make cross-functional, forward-looking decisions.

Create future financial value today. Here’s how.

Design a world-class prescriptive insights engine that maps to your strategic vison

To adapt to continuous change, you need an FP&A methodology designed with agility, from data strategy through to advanced analytics. Our team builds a robust FP&A framework and assists with execution, delivering:

An optimized finance and reporting process architecture that scales to any business environment
A strategic plan that identifies KPIs and reporting requirements
Improved visibility into performance trends
Operational excellence within and between business functions

Define your future-state reporting strategy, focusing on real-time, continuous close-based results and actionable analysis

All functions must be invested in planning and analytics, from sales, operations, and HR to marketing, finance, and IT (known as xP&A). We establish an effective xP&A operating model within your organization so that real-time decisions can be made based on an integrated, automated platform, making reporting, data management, and collaboration seamless. Areas we focus on include:

Defining internal and external needs of key business stakeholders
Creating optimization roadmaps for processes and systems enhancement
Designing dashboards that improve leadership visibility
Building a leading practice reporting architecture

Transform your data into a strategic asset to drive analytical forward progress

For maximum value in your FP&A approach, start with the end in mind. We develop your data requirements based on identified reporting needs, then create an actionable journey to the desired FP&A architecture, including data flows, integrations, and reporting capabilities per business function. The outcome is a best-in-class finance master data management capability (MDMC) and effective internal controls throughout the xP&A function.
