Vision building

How does management envision the future state Finance function to look like? How does it fit in with the rest of the organisation? Does the vision align with the rest of the business goals?

Creating a Finance vision involves shaping a clear and strategic future for the Office of Finance. A successful vision aligns Finance with the overall organisational goals and objectives, positioning Finance as a key player in executing and realising the broader strategy.

Business case development

We will carry out an assessment for a Finance function-related initiative against an appropriate framework. A business case will demonstrate benefits, costs, risks, dependencies, timings and stakeholder involvement. Business case development is part of the change process to ensure the economic and practical viability of the initiative. This is to ensure that there is sufficient challenge.

Simply put, a business case established the case for change. It involves assessing benefits, costs, risks, dependencies, timelines, and stakeholder involvement, supporting informed decision-making and securing support for proposed initiatives.

Roadmap for Finance transformation

We will build out the evolution of the Finance function, and map out key milestones and dependencies over the long-term – ensuring that each stage is appropriate in the context of the organisation.

Creating a roadmap for finance transformation sets out a clear path for change. It defines key milestones, timelines, and dependencies that align with the organisation’s goals, and guides the implementation of transformation initiatives; always ensuring they harmonise with existing initiatives as well as the overall strategic objectives.
