Keeping financial controllership “in the green”

Promoting growth by redefining controllership and accounting

Controllership can be a growth engine, enabling profitable, controlled expansion with an ever-evolving workforce. Controllerships that are truly “in the green”—consistently driving growth—are leveraging data, tech, and talent to transform processes and unlock business value.

Today's Controllership is faced with a shifting landscape with both challenges and opportunities. Those that operate as a growth engine for the company—those "In the green"—represent the pinnacle of financial integrity and health, business growth, and sustainability. But getting into the green can be a challenge. How can financial controllership and other accounting roles thrive in an era of globalization, M&A, big data, and ever-changing regulations? How do enabling technologies play into your future? How can you engage and develop the "workforce of the future" to enhance your efficiency and effectiveness? A Deloitte framework can be the answer.

Many controllers and CAOs are embracing the challenges of today with an “in the green” approach. They realize that data comprises the nutrition they need to feed the organization as they centralize and harmonize financial information. They automate routine processes in order to free up human capacity to focus on more value-added work, and they apply that talent toward analytics to unlock business value. They see controllership as a growth engine for the company as they enable profitable, controlled expansion with an ever-evolving workforce.

Most in controllership acknowledge they are among the best positioned to provide valuable insights that help drive financial and operational performance, reduce risk, manage costs, and maintain financial integrity. Many also agree that to achieve world-class controllership, and to meet the evolving expectations of CFO’s, they (and their teams) must become more proficient, effective, and insightful:
