Finance leaders looking to transform their business processes end to end, or strategise for event-driven transformations like mergers and acquisitions, need to be able to navigate smoothly through the challenge. With advice and guidance from Deloitte, finance teams can upgrade their operating model, digital technology, data, systems architecture, and talent strategies to ensure successful outcomes.

Transform and optimise your day-to-day transactional functions that are central to the role of finance departments. Everything from close, consolidate, report to reduce cost, align resources, enhance insights, and improve speed and quality control of the process; we help you manage the end-to-end procure-to-pay processes your organisation performs to source, procure, and pay for materials, goods and services, and manage working capital; and we implement automated solutions to smooth your order to cash functions.

Our team works with organisations across globe on projects ranging from service-delivery and operating-model design, through to business process outsourcing. The process starts with feasibility and understanding the organisations objectives. From there, the development of a business case: what are the quantitative and qualitative benefits? We help you to set up and run the global business services, support your location strategy, help recruit teams with appropriate skillsets, carry out training and knowledge transfer, then support transition to operational readiness.

To be able to spend more time planning and forecasting with confidence, you need to reduce the hours spent poring over financial reports forensically in the hope of uncovering insight: you need data at the click of a button, easily digestible in a visual format so you can make the decisions you need with confidence to help the business forge ahead.

Deloitte's business finance team harness advanced analytics and statistical forecasting to support process transformation, including business finance process, performance management and talent optimisation, budgeting and planning, and management information and insights.

When the CFO needs to make investments that deliver value, they have information at their fingertips, guiding them to the right choice, with a toolset that can analyse data in their underlying systems and present the findings in a user-friendly format through visualisation apps.

Before that can happen, we often conduct immersive finance labs, where we sit down and ask clients questions like: what is your vision for finance, and what do you want your legacy to be? Invariably, they want to be more efficient, effective and forward-looking: from being purely focused on operations to supporting the business. Together, we develop a plan to imagine, deliver and run your future finance operating model.
