Financial Management Advisory 

A truly effective finance function goes beyond its traditional “scorekeeping” role to drive business value. Leading businesses leverage the finance function to deliver reliable business intelligence, enhance risk management processes, and align data with key business metrics, thereby making a tangible contribution to the success of the organization.

 

Today’s finance function is under more pressure than ever, driven by increased demands for regulatory compliance, greater transparency, tighter corporate governance, and the need to recruit and retain quality staff.

How KPMG Professionals Can Help

Our Financial Management Advisory team can help the CFO and other finance leaders in increasing the value that the finance function can deliver to the organization.

 

Our deep capabilities in the core drivers of change—process, organization, information technology, and risk and control—can help organizations transform their finance capabilities to drive business value across the organization, while maintaining the integrity of the processes and information delivered to key stakeholders.

 

KPMG offers five broad categories of Financial Management Advisory services to CFOs and other finance leaders in both the public and private sectors:

 

Finance Function Strategy -

We can help finance leaders clarify the real challenges facing the function and lay out a clear path to the desired state. Our advice can help align the finance function with the rest of the organization, adding value and being a supporter of their overall goals and direction. 

 

Finance Process Improvement -

We can help reduce costs, simplify and standardize processes, and improve visibility and control of finance processes. We focus on the design of the finance organization, improvements to close processes, and benchmarking the function against leading practices.

 

Business Performance and Business Intelligence -

We can help meet the increasing demands for insightful information that informs business decision making. Our approach covers design and delivery of key performance indicators, planning, budgeting and forecasting, cost management, cost allocation, analysis and reduction, and group reporting/consolidations.

 

Finance Function Integration -

We can help realize opportunities for improvements following a reorganization, acquisition, or divestment. Working as part of transaction teams, we advise on the design, integration, and separation of the finance function. Our approach addresses financial organization, processes, and technology deployment, while maintaining the delivery of key management information.

 

Finance Function Delivery -

We can assist finance leaders in enhancing the delivery of services to the organization. Our approach considers the impact of recent regulatory changes, rising demands for more efficient finance function processes, and the scarcity of highly skilled finance function professionals. We can help clients exploit investments in technologies and explore various shared service/outsourcing models.
