The finance function has never been more tightly intertwined with the success of its wider organisation. Well beyond just reporting the numbers and extending far outside its immediate domain, finance needs to operate as a powerful strategic adviser.
What should finance's aim be? To transform organisations. Finance is the key to businesses being flexible, nimble and bold enough to both take on the opportunities and deal with the threats that present themselves – whenever and wherever they arise across the organisation.
Accordingly, PA Consulting Group elevates the role of finance to its rightful place: business partner. We radically reshape finance functions around their value-adding position as:
-
Trusted adviser – offering vital, responsive strategic advice across the business
-
information provider – presenting accurate, timely insight to support the decision making process by proactively highlighting opportunities and risks
-
efficiency agent – doing more for less, adapting the right sourcing model and delivering what is required by the organisation with minimum effort and cost
-
compliance officer – managing, controlling and complying with the relevant legislation and regulation.
Finance as a business partner can not be achieved without understanding where and how money is made across the wider organisation. Unlike accounting-biased competitors, as change management specialists, PA applies the insight we have gained addressing a variety of finance challenges, such as those at an international airline, a global media company and Transport for London.
