Finance Transformation

Deloitte helps finance leaders address the most critical priorities in enabling the finance function to support and create value for the business — from establishing finance as a trusted partner to the business to developing a high-performance operating model, improving core processes, and managing ongoing performance. 

Our approach to your challenge

Our value driver and enabler model is the starting point to assess the current state of the finance function against leading practices and create an improvement plan or transformation roadmap.

We work with CFOs to deliver and improve value in the six key areas of their responsibility, the ‘value drivers’, across the finance organsation (performance and decisions, risk and capital, strategy and execution, transaction processing, close, consolidation and support, and regulation, governance and controls) and four ‘enablers’ (systems and information, policy and process, finance organisation, talent & people), which support the execution of the transformation.  

How we can help

To drive improvements, we focus on reviewing the current state of the finance function against leading practices and identifying gaps across five key areas:

1. Finance Strategies

OurFinance Strategy Solution Set help CFOs define and formulate their strategy assisting them with assessing their vision and helping design and implement the change to their finance operating model including the organisation structure and process delivery model.

5. Service Delivery Model Design

Form follows function — the way your finance organisation is structured should directly reflect and support its role in the business. Many finance organisations across various industries are being asked to provide more insights and proactive decision support while reducing costs. The order of the day seems to be do more with less, leading many finance leaders to seek new operating models to tackle the dynamic marketplace.

Deloitte’ Finance Operating Model offering focuses on developing a more effective and efficient model for finance operations. Our services encompass:

• Operating Model Design
• Shared Services Design & Implementation
• Outsourcing Design & Implementation
• Organisation Design
• Finance talent

These gaps are addressed by defining a plan and helping CFOs to redesign and implement improvements.
