Transforming the Finance Function

Developing finance capability, improved performance and better business relationships

Finance Transformation ensures that financial excellence and best practice is delivered efficiently and consistently through intelligent systems, processes and company culture. It helps the chief finance officer to develop the capabilities that will fulfil their responsibilities to the organisation, meet stakeholder expectations and to maintain key business partnerships.

The expanding role of the Chief Financial Officer

The modern Chief Financial Officer is expected to fulfil an ever evolving and increasingly complex role, also known as the Four Faces of the CFO:

  • Strategist - analysing organisational performance and interpreting financial information to support the planning and execution of strategic initiatives across the organisation.
  • Catalyst - stimulating the wider organisation to execute the changes necessary to support the effective performance of the steward, operator and strategist role.
  • Operator - delivering efficient finance processes to support the production of financial information and driving the cost effectiveness agenda across the organisation.
  • Steward - providing control over the organisation’s assets, ensuring it meets its compliance obligations and directing the management of risk.
