See Overview

Chief financial officers (CFOs) are companions of digital transformation. Internal and external influences make transformation necessary not only in finances but also in other associated areas and processes within the business.

What it important here is not only the existing CFO portfolio strategy – it also takes an efficient organisational structure, pronounced digital leadership qualities and a digital mindset. Further conditions include the choice of suitable technology, drafting efficient processes and the implementation of innovative management reporting.

We offer comprehensive assistance for all these topics because digitally transforming commercial processes is our passion.

Success Stories

Assistance in digitalisation with an SAP connection

THE JOB

Our commission was to advise a listed company in the housing sector.

OUR TASK

There were a large number of rental apartments, with many at the lower end of the market. The business’s constant growth had had a significant effect on its internal processes, its complexity and the variety of things to be considered. Staff workloads had increased enormously.

SOLUTIONS

Our procedure was to establish a centre of excellence for robotic solutions. The posting robot was the central digitalisation solution. It provided assistance with clearing incoming payments and with accounts receivable management. The robot took on processes in the company’s system to relieve the accounts receivable managers, so they were able to focus on their main business.

RESULT

We provided the company with comprehensive support. The result of our cooperation is that receivables management, accounting and other processes were aligned for growth, while at the same time staff were relieved of repetitive tasks.

Introducing a modern reporting system

THE JOB

Our commission was to advise a leading manufacturer of punching tools.

OUR TASK

We assisted the company in introducing a reporting system and change management with comprehensive IT project management.

SOLUTIONS

The solution was to initially define and document KPIs for the company’s core areas. Having a common understanding is critical for completing a project successfully. We also took on comprehensive project management by coordinating tasks and coordinating with the service provider.

THE RESULT

The reporting system was successfully introduced and implemented according to the previously outlined requirements. The company now has a clearer picture of its day-to-day business and is able to adapt changes dynamically.

Development of IT and digital strategy

THE JOB

The job was to advise a listed company in the materials manufacturing and refining industry.

OUR TASK

The company was successful and had historically been growing fast. It was therefore necessary to create a roadmap for an IT and digital strategy in order to be able to implement a digital transformation (primarily of the CFO’s department).

SOLUTIONS

We conducted workshops to define the requirements and record the current situation. Out of this, a roadmap was developed to draft strategies, taking account of current processes, staff, responsibilities and external requirements.

THE RESULT

The result was a long-term strategy and a structured plan of measures for the company. Based on this, we assist the CFO’s department with implementation, e.g., by redesigning reporting and by automating processes by means of robotic process automation.

We’re proud of the awards we’ve won. And we’re just as happy that our clients give us top ratings! We’re working hard to keep it that way. And that’s a promise!
